Kodak M320 vs Pentax Efina Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M320 and Efina.

Clearly, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M320 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Pentax Efina will offer you more detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older M320 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
