Kodak Z915 vs Leica C Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by checking technical specs. The image underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z915 and C.

As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z915 because of its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh harder and the Leica C will give greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged Z915 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
