Kodak EasyShare Z5120 features a 16 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 125 - 6,400. Fujifilm FinePix S8400W features a 16.2 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 64 - 12,800.

Fujifilm FinePix S8400W has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Kodak EasyShare Z5120 can take pictures up to 4608 x 2456 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4608 x 3072, 4608 x 2592, 2880 x 2160, 2048 x 1536 with 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios. Fujifilm FinePix S8400W can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution.
