Panasonic S1 vs Samsung DV300F

The following is a complete comparison of the Panasonic S1 versus Samsung DV300F, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Panasonic and Samsung. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the S1 (24MP) and DV300F (16MP) and the S1 (Full frame) and DV300F (1/2.3") feature different sensor size.

The S1 was introduced 7 years after the DV300F which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic S1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung DV300F being a Compact camera.

Before delving through a full comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the S1 scores against the DV300F when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 and Samsung DV300F. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic S1 Gallery and Samsung DV300F Gallery.

If you're going to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Panasonic S1 provides outer dimensions of 149mm x 110mm x 97mm (5.9" x 4.3" x 3.8") with a weight of 1021 grams (2.25 lbs) whilst the Samsung DV300F has measurements of 95mm x 57mm x 18mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.7") having a weight of 133 grams (0.29 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the S1 vs the DV300F.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S1 and DV300F is 54 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here may offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1 and DV300F.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S1 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic S1 will resolve extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger S1 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
