Kodak S-1 vs Samsung NX100 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing only by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and NX100.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S-1 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Kodak S-1 will provide greater detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer S-1 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
