Kodak Z915 vs Samsung EX2F Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z915 and EX2F.

As you can see, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z915 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung EX2F will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older Z915 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
