The Fujifilm A100 was brought out 11 months prior to the M550 and they are of a similar generation. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before diving straight to a thorough comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the Fujifilm A100 matches up vs the M550 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm FinePix A100 and Kodak EasyShare M550. The entire galleries are viewable at Fujifilm A100 Gallery and Kodak M550 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you should factor its weight and size.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are using during that time. The following is a front view over all size comparison of the Fujifilm A100 compared to the M550.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm A100 and M550 is 95 and 95 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at a spec sheet. The pic below may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm A100 and M550.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Kodak M550 to give you greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
