Fujifilm Z30 vs Kodak M530 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking specs. The image underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z30 and M530.

All in all, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Kodak M530 to resolve more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z30 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
