Kodak S-1 vs Sony A6100 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and A6100.

All in all, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S-1 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A6100 will produce greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older S-1 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
