Kodak Mini vs Samsung TL210 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by going over specifications. The photograph here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Mini and TL210.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Mini using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung TL210 will offer greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The fresher Mini provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
