Kodak Touch vs Sony W510 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes merely by seeing specifications. The picture below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Touch and W510.

Plainly, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Touch using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Kodak Touch will show more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a little more aggressively.
