Kodak Touch vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes simply by looking at technical specs. The picture underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and Q7.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Touch featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Kodak Touch will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Touch is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
