Canon A1200 vs Kodak C135 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The photograph below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A1200 and C135.

As you can tell, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Kodak C135 to give greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The older A1200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
