Kodak M590 vs Nikon S220 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The visual below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M590 and S220.

Clearly, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M590 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Kodak M590 will offer greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The younger M590 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
