Kodak Z950 vs Nikon L24 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, its difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through specs. The picture here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z950 and L24.

All in all, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Nikon L24 to render greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged Z950 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
