Kodak C140 vs Nikon L22 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The picture here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and L22.

To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C140 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon L22 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
