Kodak M320 vs Nikon S6400 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M320 and S6400.

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M320 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon S6400 will give you extra detail due to its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older M320 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
