Kodak Mini vs Nikon A10 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing simply by going over technical specs. The graphic below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Mini and A10.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Mini having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon A10 will offer you extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older Mini is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
