The C140 was brought out 8 years prior to the HX80 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a short summation of how the C140 matches up versus the HX80 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare C140 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX80. The entire galleries are available at Kodak C140 Gallery and Sony HX80 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and volume.

Normally, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by going over specs. The visual here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the C140 and HX80.

As you can plainly see, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The C140 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony HX80 will offer more detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
