Kodak Astro AZ651 has a
21.0MP (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Nikon P1100 has a
16.0MP (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Nikon Expeed processor.
Kodak Astro AZ651's sensor provides 5MP more than Nikon P1100's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the Astro AZ651 and P1100 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Kodak Astro AZ651 and Nikon P1100 Cameras
Kodak Astro AZ651 and Nikon P1100 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with 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 Astro AZ651
or the
Nikon P1100 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
