Kodak M580 vs Nikon S9500 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over specifications. The photograph below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M580 and S9500.

Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older M580 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
