Kodak Z915 vs Panasonic TS6 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The pic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z915 and TS6.

As you can tell, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic TS6 to give you greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Z915 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
