Nikon D1H vs Sony NEX-5T

Its time to look a little more in depth at the Nikon D1H and Sony NEX-5T, one being a Pro DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Nikon and Sony. There is a significant difference among the image resolutions of the D1H (3MP) and NEX-5T (16MP) but they possess the exact same sensor sizes (APS-C).

The D1H was brought out 13 years earlier than the NEX-5T and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Nikon D1H being a Large SLR camera and the Sony NEX-5T being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a in depth comparison, below is a short introduction of how the D1H grades versus the NEX-5T for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon D1H and Sony Alpha NEX-5T. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon D1H Gallery and Sony NEX-5T Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and size.

Often, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through specifications. The visual below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the D1H and NEX-5T.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony NEX-5T to result in greater detail having its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older D1H will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
