To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Kodak Z5120 to give extra detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The older SX210 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
