Kodak Mini vs Nikon S6400 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by going through specifications. The graphic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Mini and S6400.

To sum up, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Mini featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon S6400 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Mini will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
