Kodak M590 vs Nikon S01 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions just by checking specifications. The pic underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M590 and S01.

Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M590 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Kodak M590 will resolve greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged M590 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
