Kodak Touch vs Nikon 1 J2 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements simply by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and 1 J2.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Touch with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Kodak Touch will provide more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Touch will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
