Kodak Z915 vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by going over specifications. The image here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z915 and WB50F.

Plainly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung WB50F to offer you extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged Z915 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
