Nikon S1000pj vs Nikon S800c

Here, we will be comparing the Nikon S1000pj versus Nikon S800c, both Small Sensor Compact cameras and both are manufactured by Nikon. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the S1000pj (12MP) and S800c (16MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The S1000pj was brought out 4 years before the S800c and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the S1000pj scores vs the S800c with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have chosen at the time. The following is a front view sizing comparison of the S1000pj and the S800c.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S1000pj and S800c is 94 and 93 respectively.

More often than not, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by going through technical specs. The photograph below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1000pj and S800c.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should expect the Nikon S800c to produce extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older S1000pj will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
