Its time to look a bit more closely at the Canon A2200 and Kodak Z950, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals Canon and Kodak. The image resolution of the A2200 (14MP) and the Z950 (12MP) is relatively similar and both cameras provide the identical sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The A2200 was revealed 7 months later than the Z950 so they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going straight to a complete comparison, here is a short introduction of how the A2200 grades versus the Z950 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot A2200 and Kodak EasyShare Z950. The full galleries are available at Canon A2200 Gallery and Kodak Z950 Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and Z950.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon A2200 to offer extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern A2200 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
