Kodak Z5120 vs Panasonic ZS80 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, its tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5120 and ZS80.
As you can see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic ZS80 to deliver more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Z5120 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
