Kodak M590 vs Nikon A10 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing simply by looking through specs. The visual underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M590 and A10.

All in all, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M590 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon A10 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older M590 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
