Kodak M590 vs Samsung TL240 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing simply by going over specs. The visual underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M590 and TL240.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have got the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizing. The M590 provides the tinier sensor which should make obtaining shallow DOF more difficult. The newer M590 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
