Kodak Touch vs Sony TX66 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it's hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and TX66.
As you can see, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Touch with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Sony TX66 will provide greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged Touch will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
