Kodak S-1 vs Sony NEX-3N Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The graphic below will provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S-1 and NEX-3N.
Plainly, both of those cameras feature the identical megapixel count but not the same sensor measurements. The S-1 offers the smaller sensor which should make getting shallow depth of field more challenging. The more recent S-1 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
