Kodak Touch vs Nikon S3000 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The graphic below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Touch and S3000.

Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Touch due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Kodak Touch will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more recent Touch is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
