Kodak M340 vs Nikon A100

Let's look much closer at the Kodak M340 vs Nikon A100, both Ultracompact cameras by brands Kodak and Nikon. There exists a substantial gap among the resolutions of the M340 (10MP) and A100 (20MP) but they come with the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The M340 was introduced 8 years before the A100 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before diving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a simple view of how the M340 scores vs the A100 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are working with during that time. Here is the front view scale comparison of the M340 and the A100.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M340 and A100 is 96 and 96 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M340 and A100.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon A100 to render greater detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older M340 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
