Kodak Touch vs Sony W350

Here, we will be looking at the Kodak Touch versus Sony W350, both Ultracompact digital cameras by rivals Kodak and Sony. The image resolution of the Touch (14MP) and the W350 (14MP) is relatively well matched but the Touch (1/3") and W350 (1/2.3") boast different sensor dimensions.

The Touch was introduced 13 months later than the W350 which makes them a generation apart from each other. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go into a complete comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the Touch matches up against the W350 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

If you are going to carry your camera often, you're going to have to factor its weight and measurements. The Kodak Touch enjoys external measurements of 101mm x 58mm x 19mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 0.7") having a weight of 150 grams (0.33 lbs) while the Sony W350 has proportions of 91mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.6" x 2.0" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 117 grams (0.26 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have attached at that moment. Here is a front view measurements comparison of the Touch versus the W350.

Often, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through specifications. The photograph below might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Touch and W350.

To sum up, each of these cameras come with the identical resolution albeit different sensor sizing. The Touch provides the tinier sensor which should make getting shallower DOF tougher. The more recent Touch should have an advantage in sensor technology.
