Kodak C140 vs Kodak Z950 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the C140 and Z950.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The C140 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Kodak Z950 will deliver extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
