Kodak C140 vs Samsung SL820 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The graphic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the C140 and SL820.

As you have seen, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing.
