Kodak C140 vs Pentax I-10 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The graphic below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the C140 and I-10.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C140 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Pentax I-10 will show greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older C140 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
