Kodak Z5120 vs Nikon S9500

Below, we are analyzing the Kodak Z5120 versus Nikon S9500, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors Kodak and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the Z5120 (16MP) and the S9500 (18MP) is fairly well matched and they use the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The Z5120 was released 12 months before the S9500 so they are of a similar generation. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Kodak Z5120 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon S9500 being a Compact camera.

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the Z5120 matches up against the S9500 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare Z5120 and Nikon Coolpix S9500. The complete galleries are available at Kodak Z5120 Gallery and Nikon S9500 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry around your camera, you will need to consider its weight and proportions.

Generally, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking specifications. The image underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5120 and S9500.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon S9500 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Z5120 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
