Kodak M320 vs Nikon S230 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M320 and S230.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M320 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon S230 will offer you greater detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics more aggressively.
