Kodak M380 vs Samsung CL80 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by seeing technical specs. The photograph here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M380 and CL80.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Samsung CL80 to show greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older M380 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
