Kodak Mini vs Nikon S1200pj Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Mini and S1200pj.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Mini featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Nikon S1200pj will provide you with more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged Mini will be behind in sensor innovation.
