Kodak Z915 vs Sony HX90V Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching specs. The image underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z915 and HX90V.
All in all, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony HX90V to render greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged Z915 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
