Kodak Sport vs Nikon S3600 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading specs. The graphic here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Sport and S3600.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon S3600 to offer extra detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older Sport is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
