Canon A480 vs Kodak M575 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by going through specs. The photograph underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A480 and M575.

All in all, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Kodak M575 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older A480 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
