Canon M3 vs Kodak S-1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The visual here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M3 and S-1.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M3 using its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon M3 will produce extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger M3 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
