Kodak M340 vs Samsung PL210 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes only by looking through specifications. The pic here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M340 and PL210.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung PL210 to render more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged M340 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
