Canon M50 II vs Kodak Z915 Sensor Comparison

All in all, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M50 II featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon M50 II will result in more detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent M50 II should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
