Kodak M340 vs Samsung ST30 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The picture here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M340 and ST30.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact megapixels but not the same sensor dimensions. The M340 uses the larger sensor which is going to make obtaining shallow depth of field less difficult. The more aged M340 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
