All in all, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M341 because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Kodak M341 will show more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures more aggressively.
