Kodak Mini vs Sony TX100V Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Mini and TX100V.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Mini due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony TX100V will offer you extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively.
