Kodak S-1 vs Sony ZV-E10

Following is a extended review of the Kodak S-1 versus Sony ZV-E10, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Sony. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the S-1 (16MP) and ZV-E10 (24MP) and the S-1 (Four Thirds) and ZV-E10 (APS-C) enjoy totally different sensor sizes.

The S-1 was revealed 8 years before the ZV-E10 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the S-1 scores against the ZV-E10 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Sony ZV-E10. The full galleries are viewable at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Sony ZV-E10 Gallery.

When you are going to carry around your camera, you will have to consider its weight and size. The Kodak S-1 comes with exterior measurements of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") with a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) and the Sony ZV-E10 has specifications of 115mm x 64mm x 45mm (4.5" x 2.5" x 1.8") and a weight of 343 grams (0.76 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you select at that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the S-1 versus the ZV-E10.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S-1 and ZV-E10 is 88 and 86 respectively.

Normally, its hard to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading through a spec sheet. The image here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and ZV-E10.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S-1 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony ZV-E10 will give you more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S-1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
