Kodak S-1 vs Leica M Typ 240 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S-1 and M Typ 240.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S-1 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Leica M Typ 240 will resolve greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The fresher S-1 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
