Kodak M380 vs Nikon S6900 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The pic below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M380 and S6900.

To sum up, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon S6900 to give you more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged M380 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
