Kodak Z980 vs Nikon P1000

Below, we will be looking at the Kodak Z980 and Nikon P1000, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Nikon. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the Z980 (12MP) and P1000 (16MP) but they possess the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The Z980 was introduced 10 years earlier than the P1000 and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Kodak Z980 being a Compact camera and the Nikon P1000 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a quick view of how the Z980 matches up versus the P1000 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

If you are aiming to carry your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and volume. The Kodak Z980 has external measurements of 124mm x 91mm x 105mm (4.9" x 3.6" x 4.1") along with a weight of 445 grams (0.98 lbs) and the Nikon P1000 has sizing of 146mm x 119mm x 181mm (5.7" x 4.7" x 7.1") and a weight of 1415 grams (3.12 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you choose at that time. The following is the front view overall size comparison of the Z980 and the P1000.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Z980 and P1000 is 68 and 49 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z980 and P1000.

As you can see, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Nikon P1000 to give greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older Z980 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
