Below, we are reviewing the Nikon D1 vs Nikon D2H, both Pro DSLR digital cameras and they are both produced by Nikon. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the D1 (3MP) and D2H (4MP) but they possess the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

The D1 was announced 4 years prior to the D2H and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before going in to a detailed comparison, below is a brief summary of how the D1 grades vs the D2H in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon D1 and Nikon D2H. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon D1 Gallery and Nikon D2H Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Typically, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the D1 and D2H.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon D2H to deliver greater detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The older D1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
