Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the D1H matches up versus the S1H when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon D1H and Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon D1H Gallery and Panasonic S1H Gallery.

Sometimes, its difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizes just by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the D1H and S1H.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The D1H featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic S1H will give you extra detail having its extra 21MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged D1H is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
