Kodak Mini vs Olympus E-P2 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by looking through a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Mini and E-P2.

As you can see, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Mini because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Olympus E-P2 will provide you with greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Mini should have an edge in sensor innovation.
