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.

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.

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.
