Kodak M341 vs Nikon S02 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by going through a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M341 and S02.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M341 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Nikon S02 will produce extra detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged M341 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
