Kodak M580 vs Nikon A900 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The pic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M580 and A900.

Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon A900 to deliver more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged M580 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
