Kodak Touch vs Nikon S2900 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements just by going through specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Touch and S2900.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Touch featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Nikon S2900 will produce greater detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older Touch will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
