Nikon D100 vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The image here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the D100 and S1H.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The D100 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Panasonic S1H will provide you with more detail because of its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged D100 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
