Kodak C140 vs Olympus 7040 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading technical specs. The visual here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and 7040.

As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The C140 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Olympus 7040 will deliver more detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
