Canon 40D vs Kodak Mini Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 40D and Mini.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same megapixel count but not the same sensor sizing. The 40D offers the larger sensor which should make obtaining shallower DOF less difficult. The older 40D will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
