Kodak Astro AZ651 has a
21.0MP (1/2. ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Panasonic GX7 has a
16.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor.
Kodak Astro AZ651's sensor provides 5MP more than Panasonic GX7'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 GX7 sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Panasonic GX7 has a infx Larger sensor area than Kodak Astro AZ651. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
