Nikon S01 vs Olympus VG-110

Below, we will be comparing the Nikon S01 vs Olympus VG-110, both Ultracompact cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Olympus. The image resolution of the S01 (10MP) and the VG-110 (12MP) is pretty comparable but the S01 (1/2.9") and VG-110 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor dimensions.

The S01 was brought out 2 years later than the VG-110 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the S01 scores against the VG-110 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix S01 and Olympus VG-110. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon S01 Gallery and Olympus VG-110 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and size. The Nikon S01 provides external dimensions of 77mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.0" x 2.0" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 96 grams (0.21 lbs) and the Olympus VG-110 has specifications of 92mm x 54mm x 20mm (3.6" x 2.1" x 0.8") with a weight of 105 grams (0.23 lbs).

Take a look at the Nikon S01 vs Olympus VG-110 in the new Camera and Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have attached at that moment. Below is the front view over all size comparison of the S01 and the VG-110.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S01 and VG-110 is 97 and 97 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by checking out technical specs. The photograph here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S01 and VG-110.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S01 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Olympus VG-110 will produce more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The newer S01 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
