On this page, we are reviewing the Kodak C140 versus Sony WX80, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by competitors Kodak and Sony. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the C140 (8MP) and WX80 (16MP) and the C140 (1/2.5") and WX80 (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor sizes.

The C140 was brought out 5 years earlier than the WX80 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a detailed comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the C140 grades vs the WX80 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare C140 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80. The entire galleries are available at Kodak C140 Gallery and Sony WX80 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera frequently, you'll need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the C140 and the WX80.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the C140 and WX80.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The C140 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony WX80 will give you extra detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
