Actually, that's not entirely accurate. The Kodak has a sensor half the size of your pinky fingernail. The Nikon's sensor is 75% the size of a 35mm frame of film. It's the size of the sensor that makes the difference in image quality. The image sensor in laptops and desktops are very similar in size...must be the quality of the sensor themselves and the processing that goes on that is responsible for the difference.
