Kodak Mini vs Samsung SL720 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes just by checking out a spec sheet. The image here will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Mini and SL720.
Clearly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Mini because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Samsung SL720 will produce greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer Mini should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
