Nikon S01 vs Olympus FE-4030

Following is a thorough comparison of the Nikon S01 and Olympus FE-4030, former is a Ultracompact while the other is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Nikon and Olympus. There exists a noticeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the S01 (10MP) and FE-4030 (14MP) and the S01 (1/2.9") and FE-4030 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor measurements.

The S01 was brought out 3 years after the FE-4030 which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Nikon S01 being a Ultracompact camera and the Olympus FE-4030 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the S01 grades against the FE-4030 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix S01 & Olympus FE-4030. The entire galleries are available at Nikon S01 Gallery & Olympus FE-4030 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry around your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and size. The Nikon S01 has got outer dimensions of 77mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.0" x 2.0" x 0.7") and a weight of 96 grams (0.21 lbs) whilst the Olympus FE-4030 has specifications of 93mm x 56mm x 22mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.9") having a weight of 146 grams (0.32 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the S01 versus the FE-4030.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S01 and FE-4030 is 97 and 95 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading specifications. The image here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S01 and FE-4030.

Plainly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S01 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Olympus FE-4030 will offer you more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher S01 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
