Kodak C140 vs Olympus SH-50 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the C140 and SH-50.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The C140 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Olympus SH-50 will render more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
