Kodak M320 vs Samsung PL120 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through specifications. The visual here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M320 and PL120.

To sum up, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M320 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung PL120 will result in extra detail utilizing its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older M320 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
