Kodak M340 vs Panasonic FP7 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it can be hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M340 and FP7.
As you can see, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic FP7 to give you more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M340 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
