FujiFilm JX300 vs Kodak S-1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading specifications. The visual here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the JX300 and S-1.

Plainly, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The JX300 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Kodak S-1 will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older JX300 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
