Kodak C140 vs Pentax S1

Let's look closer at the Kodak C140 vs Pentax S1, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Pentax. There exists a sizable gap between the image resolutions of the C140 (8MP) and S1 (14MP) and the C140 (1/2.5") and S1 (1/2.3") use different sensor sizes.

The C140 was released 3 years prior to the S1 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a thorough comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the C140 grades vs the S1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera often, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are using at that moment. Here is the front view sizing comparison of the C140 vs the S1.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the C140 and S1 is 94 and 93 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The visual here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the C140 and S1.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The C140 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Pentax S1 will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
