In this article, we will be contrasting the Kodak Touch and Sony T90, both Ultracompact cameras by competitors Kodak and Sony. The image resolution of the Touch (14MP) and the T90 (12MP) is relatively close but the Touch (1/3") and T90 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor sizes.

The Touch was manufactured 23 months later than the T90 which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before delving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the Touch grades vs the T90 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Kodak EasyShare Touch and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90. The entire galleries are available at Kodak Touch Gallery and Sony T90 Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you should think about its weight and dimensions. The Kodak Touch offers outer dimensions of 101mm x 58mm x 19mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 0.7") with a weight of 150 grams (0.33 lbs) whilst the Sony T90 has dimensions of 94mm x 57mm x 15mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.6") accompanied by a weight of 148 grams (0.33 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Following is the front view size comparison of the Touch against the T90.

In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements purely by viewing technical specs. The graphic below should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and T90.

As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Touch because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Kodak Touch will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent Touch is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
