Fujifilm S2000HD vs Kodak Z981 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S2000HD and Z981.

Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S2000HD will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
