Canon G1 X III and Kodak Touch's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

On the other hand, Canon G1 X III sports a Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Kodak Touch's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.

Canon G1 X III's sensor provides 10MP more than Kodak Touch's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
