Kodak S-1 vs Leica M Edition 60 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements just by going through specifications. The visual underneath may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and M Edition 60.

To sum up, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S-1 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Leica M Edition 60 will provide more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively.
