Kodak Touch vs Panasonic FS15 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be tough to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and FS15.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Touch featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Kodak Touch will produce extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent Touch should have an edge in sensor technology.
