The D1X was introduced 13 years before the LF1 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Nikon D1X being a Large SLR camera and the Panasonic LF1 being a Compact camera.

Before we go through a more detailed comparison, below is a brief overview of how the D1X scores vs the LF1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon D1X and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon D1X Gallery and Panasonic LF1 Gallery.

For those who are planning to travel with your camera often, you will have to consider its weight and volume.

Generally, it can be hard to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing technical specs. The pic underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D1X and LF1.

As you can tell, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D1X with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic LF1 will offer extra detail using its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged D1X is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
