Kodak M575 vs Sony RX1 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing technical specs. The pic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M575 and RX1.

As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M575 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sony RX1 will deliver extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M575 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
