Kodak Sport vs Sony W690 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specs. The pic underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Sport and W690.

All in all, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony W690 to result in greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged Sport will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
