Kodak S-1 vs Pentax K-01

Below is a extensive comparison of the Kodak S-1 versus Pentax K-01, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by brands Kodak and Pentax. The resolution of the S-1 (16MP) and the K-01 (16MP) is pretty comparable but the S-1 (Four Thirds) and K-01 (APS-C) offer different sensor dimensions.

The S-1 was unveiled 2 years later than the K-01 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Kodak S-1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Pentax K-01 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a complete comparison, here is a short introduction of how the S-1 matches up against the K-01 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Pentax K-01. The full galleries are available at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Pentax K-01 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera often, you will want to think about its weight and measurements. The Kodak S-1 provides exterior dimensions of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") along with a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) whilst the Pentax K-01 has proportions of 122mm x 79mm x 58mm (4.8" x 3.1" x 2.3") having a weight of 561 grams (1.24 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you select at that time. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the S-1 vs the K-01.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S-1 and K-01 is 88 and 76 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out specs. The photograph here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and K-01.

All in all, both of these cameras provide the same megapixels albeit different sensor measurements. The S-1 has got the smaller sensor which will make getting shallow DOF trickier. The newer S-1 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
