Kodak Z1485 IS vs Leica C

Its time to look a little more in depth at the Kodak Z1485 IS versus Leica C, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by brands Kodak and Leica. The sensor resolution of the Z1485 IS (14MP) and the C (12MP) is very comparable but the Z1485 IS (1/1.72") and C (1/1.7") posses totally different sensor dimensions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Following is a front view size comparison of the Z1485 IS versus the C.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Z1485 IS and C is 91 and 92 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing just by seeing technical specs. The graphic below will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z1485 IS and C.

As you can tell, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Z1485 IS due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Kodak Z1485 IS will show greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older Z1485 IS will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
