The S01 was revealed 2 years after the ST65 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief summation of how the S01 scores versus the ST65 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix S01 and Samsung ST65. The full galleries are provided at Nikon S01 Gallery and Samsung ST65 Gallery.

If you are aiming to travel with your camera, you will need to think about its weight and proportions.

Typically, it is hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S01 and ST65.

As you can see, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S01 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Samsung ST65 will show more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The fresher S01 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
