Nikon D1H vs Nikon D4

Let's take a closer look at the Nikon D1H versus Nikon D4, both Pro DSLR cameras and both are produced by Nikon. There exists a noticeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the D1H (3MP) and D4 (16MP) and the D1H (APS-C) and D4 (Full frame) enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The D1H was unveiled 11 years before the D4 which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before going through a more detailed comparison, below is a short introduction of how the D1H grades against the D4 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon D1H & Nikon D4. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon D1H Gallery & Nikon D4 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera, you need to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Nikon D1H has outside measurements of 157mm x 153mm x 85mm (6.2" x 6.0" x 3.3") accompanied by a weight of 1200 grams (2.65 lbs) while the Nikon D4 has dimensions of 160mm x 157mm x 91mm (6.3" x 6.2" x 3.6") having a weight of 1340 grams (2.95 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are using during that time. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the D1H and the D4.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the D1H and D4 is 51 and 50 respectively.

Typically, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The picture here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the D1H and D4.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D1H having a smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon D4 will produce greater detail having an extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged D1H will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
