Kodak C140 vs Olympus TG-6 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the C140 and TG-6.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The C140 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Olympus TG-6 will deliver more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
