Kodak M340 vs Nikon S01

Let's take a closer look at the Kodak M340 versus Nikon S01, both Ultracompact digital cameras by competitors Kodak and Nikon. The image resolution of the M340 (10MP) and the S01 (10MP) is fairly well matched but the M340 (1/2.3") and S01 (1/2.9") provide different sensor dimensions.

The M340 was unveiled 5 years earlier than the S01 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the M340 matches up against the S01 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare M340 and Nikon Coolpix S01. The full galleries are provided at Kodak M340 Gallery and Nikon S01 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you need to think about its weight and volume. The Kodak M340 features physical measurements of 96mm x 59mm x 19mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.7") having a weight of 115 grams (0.25 lbs) while the Nikon S01 has sizing of 77mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.0" x 2.0" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 96 grams (0.21 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Here is a front view measurements comparison of the M340 against the S01.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M340 and S01 is 96 and 97 respectively.

Quite often, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading through specifications. The pic below may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M340 and S01.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have the same megapixel count but different sensor sizes. The M340 offers the larger sensor which should make achieving shallow depth of field simpler. The more aged M340 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
