Kodak C140 vs Olympus 7030 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by looking through technical specs. The image here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the C140 and 7030.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The C140 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus 7030 will result in greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind in sensor technology.
