Kodak Z915 vs Olympus VG-160 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading technical specs. The visual here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Z915 and VG-160.
As you have seen, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus VG-160 to offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older Z915 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
