Kodak M320 vs Nikon S1200pj

On this page, we will be looking at the Kodak M320 versus Nikon S1200pj, both Ultracompact cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Nikon. There exists a sizable gap among the image resolutions of the M320 (9MP) and S1200pj (14MP) and the M320 (1/2.5") and S1200pj (1/2.3") posses different sensor size.

The M320 was brought out 3 years earlier than the S1200pj and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go right into a thorough comparison, here is a short introduction of how the M320 matches up versus the S1200pj with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

If you're looking to carry your camera often, you'll have to factor its weight and volume. The Kodak M320 offers physical measurements of 97mm x 60mm x 21mm (3.8" x 2.4" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 155 grams (0.34 lbs) and the Nikon S1200pj has sizing of 107mm x 64mm x 23mm (4.2" x 2.5" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 186 grams (0.41 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are working with at the time. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the M320 versus the S1200pj.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M320 and S1200pj is 95 and 93 respectively.

More often than not, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing merely by going through technical specs. The graphic here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M320 and S1200pj.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M320 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Nikon S1200pj will provide extra detail having its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older M320 will be behind in sensor tech.
