Kodak C140 vs Sony W730 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the C140 and W730.

Clearly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The C140 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony W730 will give greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
