Kodak C140 vs Olympus VR-330 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic below should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the C140 and VR-330.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The C140 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Olympus VR-330 will resolve extra detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
