Kodak Z1485 IS vs Sony WX50 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by reviewing specifications. The visual below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z1485 IS and WX50.
Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Z1485 IS because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Sony WX50 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The older Z1485 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
