Kodak Mini vs Nikon S70 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The picture underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Mini and S70.

To sum up, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Mini featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Nikon S70 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The newer Mini should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
