Kodak M320 vs Samsung ST90 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions just by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M320 and ST90.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M320 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Samsung ST90 will result in greater detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged M320 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
