The M380 was brought out 3 years prior to the P500 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Kodak M380 being a Ultracompact camera and the Nikon P500 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short summation of how the M380 scores versus the P500 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Generally, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M380 and P500.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon P500 to render more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older M380 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
