Kodak S-1 vs Sony NEX-F3

Lets take a closer look at the Kodak S-1 versus Sony NEX-F3, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by rivals Kodak and Sony. The image resolution of the S-1 (16MP) and the NEX-F3 (16MP) is relatively comparable but the S-1 (Four Thirds) and NEX-F3 (APS-C) come with different sensor dimensions.

The S-1 was announced 23 months after the NEX-F3 which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a short overview of how the S-1 scores against the NEX-F3 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Kodak Pixpro S-1 & Sony Alpha NEX-F3. The whole galleries are available at Kodak S-1 Gallery & Sony NEX-F3 Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to travel with your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and measurements. The Kodak S-1 has got outside measurements of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") and a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) while the Sony NEX-F3 has proportions of 117mm x 67mm x 42mm (4.6" x 2.6" x 1.7") accompanied by a weight of 314 grams (0.69 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you use at that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the S-1 against the NEX-F3.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S-1 and NEX-F3 is 88 and 86 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing specifications. The picture here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and NEX-F3.

To sum up, both cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count albeit different sensor dimensions. The S-1 contains the smaller sensor which is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier. The more recent S-1 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
