As you can tell, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon L28 to offer you more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged Z980 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
