Kodak Sport vs Nikon L26 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing technical specs. The image here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Sport and L26.

As you can tell, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon L26 to offer extra detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Sport is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
