Kodak Mini vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing technical specs. The pic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Mini and TX200V.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Mini featuring a smaller sensor will make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sony TX200V will show extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged Mini will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
