Kodak M550 vs Nikon S6200 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing technical specs. The image here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the M550 and S6200.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon S6200 to render greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged M550 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
