Kodak C140 vs Samsung MV800 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing purely by researching specifications. The photograph underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and MV800.

Plainly, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The C140 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung MV800 will render greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a little more aggressively. The older C140 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
