Quite often, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z915 and MV800.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Samsung MV800 to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Z915 will be behind in sensor technology.
