Nikon S800c has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Expeed C2 processor. On the other hand, Kodak Sport has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the S800c and Sport sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon S800c and Kodak Sport Cameras
Nikon S800c and Kodak Sport have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Kodak Sport has 32% larger pixel area (2.34µm 2 vs 1.76µm 2 ) compared to Nikon S800c, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon S800c
or the
Kodak Sport ,
including hyperfocal distance.
