Kodak M590 vs Sony TX1

Below, we are reviewing the Kodak M590 vs Sony TX1, both Ultracompact cameras by rivals Kodak and Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the M590 (14MP) and TX1 (10MP) and the M590 (1/3") and TX1 (1/2.4") feature totally different sensor sizes.

The M590 was revealed 13 months later than the TX1 making the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before delving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the M590 scores versus the TX1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak M590 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1. The full galleries are provided at Kodak M590 Gallery and Sony TX1 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera often, you will want to take into account its weight and proportions. The Kodak M590 has outside dimensions of 97mm x 58mm x 15mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.6") accompanied by a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) and the Sony TX1 has measurements of 94mm x 58mm x 17mm (3.7" x 2.3" x 0.7") along with a weight of 142 grams (0.31 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that time. The following is the front view proportions comparison of the M590 and the TX1.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M590 and TX1 is 99 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M590 and TX1.

Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M590 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Kodak M590 will result in more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more recent M590 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
