Generally, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by checking out specifications. The image here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and NX5.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S-1 because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Kodak S-1 will produce more detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher S-1 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
