Kodak C140 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the C140 and LF1.

As you can see, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The C140 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic LF1 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older C140 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
