Canon SD780 IS vs Kodak Touch Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SD780 IS and Touch.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SD780 IS because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Kodak Touch will give more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The older SD780 IS is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
