Kodak M320 vs Sony TX7 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by looking at specs. The visual here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M320 and TX7.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M320 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony TX7 will give extra detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older M320 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
