Kodak Z950 vs Sony W730

Let's examine more in depth at the Kodak Z950 and Sony W730, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Sony. There exists a substantial gap among the resolutions of the Z950 (12MP) and W730 (16MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The Z950 was introduced 3 years before the W730 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a thorough comparison, below is a quick view of how the Z950 scores vs the W730 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak EasyShare Z950 & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W730. The whole galleries are provided at Kodak Z950 Gallery & Sony W730 Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera, you will need to consider its weight and dimensions.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is the front view scale comparison of the Z950 against the W730.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Z950 and W730 is 89 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it can be hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z950 and W730.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Sony W730 to result in more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older Z950 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
