Kodak Z5120 vs Olympus 1s

Following is a extended assessment of the Kodak Z5120 versus Olympus 1s, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors Kodak and Olympus. There is a big difference between the resolutions of the Z5120 (16MP) and 1s (12MP) and the Z5120 (1/2.3") and 1s (1/1.7") use totally different sensor size.

The Z5120 was revealed 4 years prior to the 1s which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving in to a full comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the Z5120 grades vs the 1s in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

For anyone who is aiming to carry around your camera often, you need to consider its weight and measurements. The Kodak Z5120 has physical measurements of 124mm x 91mm x 105mm (4.9" x 3.6" x 4.1") having a weight of 445 grams (0.98 lbs) and the Olympus 1s has proportions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") accompanied by a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have chosen at that moment. The following is the front view size comparison of the Z5120 versus the 1s.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the Z5120 and 1s is 68 and 79 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The image below might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z5120 and 1s.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z5120 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Kodak Z5120 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged Z5120 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
