Kodak C140 vs Sony HX20V Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through specs. The pic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the C140 and HX20V.
All in all, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The C140 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Sony HX20V will result in extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind in sensor innovation.
