Kodak S-1 vs Pentax Q10

The following is a extensive review of the Kodak S-1 versus Pentax Q10, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by companies Kodak and Pentax. There is a sizeable difference between the resolutions of the S-1 (16MP) and Q10 (12MP) and the S-1 (Four Thirds) and Q10 (1/2.3") have different sensor measurements.

The S-1 was manufactured 22 months after the Q10 making them a generation away from each other. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the S-1 grades versus the Q10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Pentax Q10. The entire galleries are available at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Pentax Q10 Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera, you should consider its weight and measurements. The Kodak S-1 comes with exterior measurements of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") with a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) whilst the Pentax Q10 has proportions of 102mm x 58mm x 34mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.3") along with a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have attached during that time. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the S-1 versus the Q10.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the S-1 and Q10 is 88 and 92 respectively.

Often, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing technical specs. The image underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and Q10.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S-1 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Kodak S-1 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger S-1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
