Kodak Z950 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z950 and ST150F.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Samsung ST150F to result in greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged Z950 will be behind in sensor tech.
