Kodak C135 vs Sony NEX-5R Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the C135 and NEX-5R.
Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The C135 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Sony NEX-5R will show more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged C135 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
