Kodak C140 vs Olympus SZ-31MR iHS

Let's look a bit more closely at the Kodak C140 versus Olympus SZ-31MR iHS, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Kodak and Olympus. There is a huge difference between the resolutions of the C140 (8MP) and SZ-31MR iHS (16MP) and the C140 (1/2.5") and SZ-31MR iHS (1/2.3") come with different sensor measurements.

The C140 was released 4 years earlier than the SZ-31MR iHS and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the C140 scores vs the SZ-31MR iHS in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Kodak EasyShare C140 and Olympus SZ-31MR iHS. The complete galleries are viewable at Kodak C140 Gallery and Olympus SZ-31MR iHS Gallery.

For anyone who is going to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the C140 and SZ-31MR iHS is 94 and 89 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph below may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and SZ-31MR iHS.

To sum up, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C140 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Olympus SZ-31MR iHS will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
