Kodak Z990 vs Samsung WB750 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes only by checking technical specs. The pic below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z990 and WB750.

As you can tell, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung WB750 to give you extra detail with its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Z990 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
