Kodak C140 vs Nikon S3300

On this page, we will be analyzing the Kodak C140 versus Nikon S3300, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Kodak and Nikon. There is a sizeable difference between the resolutions of the C140 (8MP) and S3300 (16MP) and the C140 (1/2.5") and S3300 (1/2.3") offer different sensor dimensions.

The C140 was announced 4 years prior to the S3300 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a complete comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the C140 matches up vs the S3300 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Often, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking specs. The graphic here should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the C140 and S3300.

All in all, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C140 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Nikon S3300 will resolve more detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
