The S95 was unveiled 4 years before the S-1 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Canon S95 being a Compact camera and the Kodak S-1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick summation of how the S95 scores against the S-1 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot S95 & Kodak Pixpro S-1. The full galleries are provided at Canon S95 Gallery & Kodak S-1 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and proportions.

Generally, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S95 and S-1.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S95 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Kodak S-1 will provide greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older S95 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
