Normally, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at specs. The photograph below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z950 and 6000.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Kodak Z950 to give more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent Z950 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
