Normally, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The visual underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z280 and Z1485 IS.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z280 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Kodak Z1485 IS will provide extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The younger EX-Z280 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
