Kodak C140 vs Sony WX150 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reviewing specifications. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and WX150.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The C140 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony WX150 will offer greater detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
