Kodak C140 vs Panasonic ZS25 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes merely by seeing technical specs. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and ZS25.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The C140 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic ZS25 will provide extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
