Kodak S-1 vs Leica TL2 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes just by going through specifications. The picture below may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S-1 and TL2.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S-1 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Leica TL2 will produce extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged S-1 will be behind in sensor innovation.
