Kodak Touch vs Nikon A10

Below, we will be comparing the Kodak Touch versus Nikon A10, both Ultracompact cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Nikon. The image resolution of the Touch (14MP) and the A10 (16MP) is pretty comparable but the Touch (1/3") and A10 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor size.

The Touch was revealed 6 years prior to the A10 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before diving in to a in-depth comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the Touch scores versus the A10 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak EasyShare Touch & Nikon Coolpix A10. The full galleries are viewable at Kodak Touch Gallery & Nikon A10 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to take into account its weight and size.

Often, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Touch and A10.

Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Touch having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon A10 will show extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older Touch will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
