Canon G11 vs Kodak M580 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G11 and M580.

Clearly, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G11 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Kodak M580 will provide greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively.
