Quite often, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The image underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z5120 and 6010.

As you have seen, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should expect to see the Kodak Z5120 to show extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The more modern Z5120 should have an edge in sensor tech.
