Kodak M380 vs Nikon S02 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the M380 and S02.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M380 having a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Nikon S02 will produce extra detail because of its extra 3MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M380 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
