Kodak S-1 vs Sony NEX-7

Here, we will be comparing the Kodak S-1 versus Sony NEX-7, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Kodak and Sony. There is a large difference among the sensor resolutions of the S-1 (16MP) and NEX-7 (24MP) and the S-1 (Four Thirds) and NEX-7 (APS-C) boast different sensor measurements.

The S-1 was brought out 2 years later than the NEX-7 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple summary of how the S-1 grades vs the NEX-7 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

When you are going to lug around your camera often, you should take into account its weight and proportions. The Kodak S-1 has got exterior dimensions of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") having a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) and the Sony NEX-7 has measurements of 120mm x 67mm x 43mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.7") along with a weight of 400 grams (0.88 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you have chosen at that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the S-1 vs the NEX-7.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the S-1 and NEX-7 is 88 and 84 respectively.

Usually, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The graphic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the S-1 and NEX-7.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S-1 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony NEX-7 will show greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent S-1 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
