Canon M50 vs Kodak S-1 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it's hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by viewing specifications. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M50 and S-1.
Plainly, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M50 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M50 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer M50 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
