Kodak M340 vs Olympus VG-110

Here, we will be looking at the Kodak M340 and Olympus VG-110, both Ultracompact cameras by rivals Kodak and Olympus. The resolution of the M340 (10MP) and the VG-110 (12MP) is pretty close and both cameras provide the identical sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The M340 was introduced 3 years before the VG-110 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before diving straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a brief summary of how the M340 scores vs the VG-110 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak EasyShare M340 and Olympus VG-110. The whole galleries are provided at Kodak M340 Gallery and Olympus VG-110 Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera, you should consider its weight and measurements. The Kodak M340 provides outer dimensions of 96mm x 59mm x 19mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 115 grams (0.25 lbs) and the Olympus VG-110 has proportions of 92mm x 54mm x 20mm (3.6" x 2.1" x 0.8") along with a weight of 105 grams (0.23 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilizing at that moment. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the M340 compared to the VG-110.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the M340 and VG-110 is 96 and 97 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the difference in sensor measurements just by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the M340 and VG-110.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Olympus VG-110 to provide you with greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older M340 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
