Kodak S-1 vs Nikon Z fc Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by researching specifications. The photograph underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and Z fc.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S-1 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon Z fc will render greater detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older S-1 will be behind in sensor technology.
