Canon S200 vs Kodak M550 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing specifications. The visual here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the S200 and M550.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S200 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Kodak M550 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer S200 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
