Kodak M341 vs Samsung PL120 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The pic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M341 and PL120.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Samsung PL120 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged M341 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
