Kodak C140 vs Pentax WS80 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The C140 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Pentax WS80 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively.
