Casio EX-S5 vs Kodak Mini Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-S5 and Mini.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-S5 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh easier and the Kodak Mini will result in extra detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
