Kodak S-1 vs Sony NEX-3N

Below is a in depth review of the Kodak S-1 versus Sony NEX-3N, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Sony. The resolution of the S-1 (16MP) and the NEX-3N (16MP) is very comparable but the S-1 (Four Thirds) and NEX-3N (APS-C) have totally different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The S-1 was manufactured 17 months later than the NEX-3N making them a generation apart from one another. The two cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the S-1 matches up against the NEX-3N in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The entire galleries are provided at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Sony NEX-3N Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and size. The Kodak S-1 provides physical measurements of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") along with a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) whilst the Sony NEX-3N has specifications of 110mm x 62mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.4") along with a weight of 269 grams (0.59 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have attached at that time. Here is a front view scale comparison of the S-1 vs the NEX-3N.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S-1 and NEX-3N is 88 and 89 respectively.

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.
