Kodak M320 vs Sony HX350

Below, we will be looking at the Kodak M320 and Sony HX350, one is a Ultracompact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Kodak and Sony. There is a sizeable difference among the resolutions of the M320 (9MP) and HX350 (20MP) and the M320 (1/2.5") and HX350 (1/2.3") feature different sensor dimensions.

The M320 was unveiled 9 years prior to the HX350 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Kodak M320 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony HX350 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the M320 grades versus the HX350 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Kodak EasyShare M320 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350. The full galleries are viewable at Kodak M320 Gallery and Sony HX350 Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera regularly, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. The following is the front view over all size comparison of the M320 compared to the HX350.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the M320 and HX350 is 95 and 62 respectively.

Usually, it is difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes simply by looking through technical specs. The image below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the M320 and HX350.

As you can tell, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M320 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony HX350 will result in extra detail having an extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M320 will be behind in sensor tech.
