Kodak C140 vs Olympus SP-800 UZ

The following is a extended overview of the Kodak C140 versus Olympus SP-800 UZ, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Kodak and Olympus. There is a significant difference between the sensor resolutions of the C140 (8MP) and SP-800 UZ (14MP) and the C140 (1/2.5") and SP-800 UZ (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor measurements.

Generally, it's tough to see the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over technical specs. The pic below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the C140 and SP-800 UZ.

As you have seen, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C140 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus SP-800 UZ will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
