Kodak S-1 vs Pentax Q7

The following is a complete overview of the Kodak S-1 vs Pentax Q7, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by competitors Kodak and Pentax. There exists a noticeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the S-1 (16MP) and Q7 (12MP) and the S-1 (Four Thirds) and Q7 (1/1.7") possess different sensor sizes.

The S-1 was introduced 11 months after the Q7 so they are of a similar age. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the S-1 grades versus the Q7 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 & Pentax Q7. The whole galleries are available at Kodak S-1 Gallery & Pentax Q7 Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera, you have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Kodak S-1 comes with external measurements of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") having a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) whilst the Pentax Q7 has measurements of 102mm x 58mm x 34mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.3") along with a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you select at the time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the S-1 versus the Q7.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S-1 and Q7 is 88 and 92 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing technical specs. The picture below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the S-1 and Q7.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S-1 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Kodak S-1 will result in extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The younger S-1 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
