The M340 was manufactured 12 years before the G100 and that is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Kodak M340 being a Ultracompact camera and the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the M340 scores against the G100 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare M340 & Panasonic Lumix DC-G100. The entire galleries are provided at Kodak M340 Gallery & Panasonic G100 Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and proportions. The Kodak M340 enjoys exterior measurements 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 Panasonic G100 has measurements of 116mm x 83mm x 54mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 2.1") with a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Below is a front view size comparison of the M340 compared to the G100.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M340 and G100 is 96 and 81 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking technical specs. The graphic below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M340 and G100.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M340 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G100 will give greater detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older M340 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
