Panasonic ZS70 has a
20.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor. On the other hand, Kodak Z5120 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the ZS70 and Z5120 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic ZS70 and Kodak Z5120 Cameras
Panasonic ZS70 and Kodak Z5120 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. On the other hand, since Kodak Z5120 has 78% larger pixel area (2.48µm 2 vs 1.39µm 2 ) compared to Panasonic ZS70, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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
Panasonic ZS70
or the
Kodak Z5120 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
