Canon SX720 HS vs Kodak Z950

Lets look a little more closely at the Canon SX720 HS and Kodak Z950, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and Kodak. There is a noticeable difference between the image resolutions of the SX720 HS (20.3MP) and Z950 (12MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The SX720 HS was introduced 5 years later than the Z950 and that is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving through a more detailed comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the SX720 HS grades versus the Z950 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX720 HS and Z950.

Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon SX720 HS to give you extra detail using its extra 8.3MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer SX720 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
