Kodak C140 vs Olympus SZ-11 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through technical specs. The picture underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and SZ-11.

As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C140 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Olympus SZ-11 will result in extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind in sensor tech.
