Kodak C140 vs Nikon S3500

Below is a extensive review of the Kodak C140 vs Nikon S3500, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Kodak and Nikon. There exists a crucial gap among the resolutions of the C140 (8MP) and S3500 (20MP) and the C140 (1/2.5") and S3500 (1/2.3") come with different sensor dimensions.

The C140 was unveiled 5 years earlier than the S3500 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short summary of how the C140 grades versus the S3500 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For those who are going to lug around your camera regularly, you have to factor its weight and volume. The Kodak C140 provides outside dimensions of 92mm x 63mm x 22mm (3.6" x 2.5" x 0.9") with a weight of 160 grams (0.35 lbs) while the Nikon S3500 has sizing of 97mm x 58mm x 21mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.8") with a weight of 129 grams (0.28 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are employing at that moment. Here is the front view dimensions comparison of the C140 compared to the S3500.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the C140 and S3500 is 94 and 95 respectively.

Quite often, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through technical specs. The visual here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the C140 and S3500.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C140 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon S3500 will produce greater detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older C140 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
