Kodak M320 vs Nikon S80 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The visual below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M320 and S80.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M320 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon S80 will produce extra detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older M320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
