Kodak Sport vs Panasonic ZS25 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading technical specs. The pic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Sport and ZS25.

As you have seen, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Panasonic ZS25 to offer you more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Sport is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
