Kodak M340 vs Nikon S7000

Lets look a bit more in depth at the Kodak M340 and Nikon S7000, both Ultracompact cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Nikon. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the M340 (10MP) and S7000 (16MP) but they come with the same exact sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The M340 was released 7 years before the S7000 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before going through a complete comparison, below is a simple overview of how the M340 matches up vs the S7000 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak EasyShare M340 and Nikon Coolpix S7000. The complete galleries are available at Kodak M340 Gallery and Nikon S7000 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera often, you need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Kodak M340 comes with 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) whilst the Nikon S7000 has measurements of 99mm x 60mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 165 grams (0.36 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you select at that time. Following is the front view size comparison of the M340 versus the S7000.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M340 and S7000 is 96 and 94 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by researching technical specs. The visual below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M340 and S7000.

As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Nikon S7000 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older M340 will be behind in sensor innovation.
