Kodak Z1485 IS vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing a spec sheet. The image below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Z1485 IS and WX350.
As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z1485 IS due to its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Sony WX350 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged Z1485 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
