Kodak Z981 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Canon SX50 HS has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor.
Below you can see the Z981 and SX50 HS sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Kodak Z981 and Canon SX50 HS Cameras
Kodak Z981 and Canon SX50 HS have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Kodak Z981
or the
Canon SX50 HS ,
including hyperfocal distance.
