Kodak M590 vs Nikon S70

Its time to look much closer at the Kodak M590 vs Nikon S70, both Ultracompact cameras by competitors Kodak and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the M590 (14MP) and the S70 (12MP) is very comparable but the M590 (1/3") and S70 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor measurements.

The M590 was announced 13 months after the S70 making the cameras a generation away from each other. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before getting in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief summary of how the M590 matches up versus the S70 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak M590 & Nikon Coolpix S70. The whole galleries are provided at Kodak M590 Gallery & Nikon S70 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you are going to need to consider its weight and proportions.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you choose during that time. Below is the front view sizing comparison of the M590 and the S70.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the M590 and S70 is 99 and 95 respectively.

Usually, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M590 and S70.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M590 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Kodak M590 will provide extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent M590 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
