Kodak C135 vs Sony W800

Following is a in-depth assessment of the Kodak C135 and Sony W800, one is a Waterproof and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Kodak and Sony. There is a significant difference between the image resolutions of the C135 (14MP) and W800 (20MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The C135 was introduced 3 years earlier than the W800 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a short summation of how the C135 scores against the W800 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak EasyShare C135 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800. The whole galleries are available at Kodak C135 Gallery and Sony W800 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to carry around your camera frequently, you need to factor in its weight and volume.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use at that moment. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the C135 and the W800.

In many cases, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading specifications. The picture here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the C135 and W800.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony W800 to offer extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged C135 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
