Kodak M530 vs Sony WX80 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M530 and WX80.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should expect the Sony WX80 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M530 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
