All in all, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR100 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Kodak Z1485 IS will deliver more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern EX-ZR100 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
