Kodak Mini vs Nikon S6900 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by going through a spec sheet. The picture here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Mini and S6900.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Mini because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Nikon S6900 will show more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged Mini will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
