Kodak C140 vs Nikon S33 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes simply by viewing technical specs. The picture here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the C140 and S33.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The C140 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon S33 will render greater detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
