Kodak Z5120 vs Nikon B500 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through technical specs. The picture here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5120 and B500.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size and the identical megapixels therefore you can expect comparable quality of files but you will need to factor the age of the cameras into account. The more aged Z5120 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
