Kodak Z950 vs Nikon L28 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking specifications. The pic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z950 and L28.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon L28 to resolve greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged Z950 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
