Lets examine more closely at the Nikon S01 versus Sony T900, both Ultracompact digital cameras by competitors Nikon and Sony. The sensor resolution of the S01 (10MP) and the T900 (12MP) is fairly well matched but the S01 (1/2.9") and T900 (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizes.

The S01 was brought out 4 years after the T900 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before diving through a comprehensive comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the S01 scores vs the T900 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix S01 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon S01 Gallery and Sony T900 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera regularly, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you select at that time. Underneath is the front view sizing comparison of the S01 compared to the T900.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the S01 and T900 is 97 and 96 respectively.

Usually, its difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S01 and T900.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S01 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony T900 will give more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The younger S01 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
