Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Nikon D4, which was introduced in January 2012 is a Pro DSLR camera with a 16.0MP Full frame sensor whereas Fujifilm XQ1, which was introduced in November 2013 is a Ultracompact camera with a 12.0MP 2/3-inch sensor. There is 23 months difference between D4 and XQ1 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger XQ1, especially in sensor tech.
Comparing a DSLR camera to a Fixed Lens camera is not an easy task but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison. Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Nikon D4 is ranked
#7 out of 36 Pro DSLR cameras with an overall score of 68 whereas Fujifilm XQ1 is ranked
#1 out of 152 Ultracompact cameras with an overall score of 51.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Nikon D4 and Fujifilm XQ1 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Nikon D4 and Fujifilm XQ1 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
