Kodak Touch vs Nikon S01

Let's take a more detailed look at the Kodak Touch vs Nikon S01, both Ultracompact digital cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Nikon. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the Touch (14MP) and S01 (10MP) and the Touch (1/3") and S01 (1/2.9") provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The Touch was manufactured 3 years earlier than the S01 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a simple summary of how the Touch matches up vs the S01 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Kodak EasyShare Touch & Nikon Coolpix S01. The entire galleries are viewable at Kodak Touch Gallery & Nikon S01 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera regularly, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Kodak Touch has got outer dimensions of 101mm x 58mm x 19mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 0.7") along with a weight of 150 grams (0.33 lbs) while the Nikon S01 has measurements of 77mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.0" x 2.0" x 0.7") along with a weight of 96 grams (0.21 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the Touch compared to the S01.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Touch and S01 is 95 and 97 respectively.

Typically, its hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing technical specs. The picture underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and S01.

As you have seen, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Touch because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Kodak Touch will offer extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged Touch is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
