The Touch was unveiled 3 years before the TX30 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the Touch scores versus the TX30 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare Touch & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30. The full galleries are available at Kodak Touch Gallery & Sony TX30 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to lug around your camera regularly, you will have to factor its weight and proportions.

Sometimes, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading technical specs. The photograph underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Touch and TX30.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Touch using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony TX30 will offer greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older Touch is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
