Kodak Z950 vs Sony H90 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The picture here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z950 and H90.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H90 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged Z950 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
