Kodak M380 vs Samsung SH100 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at specs. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M380 and SH100.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung SH100 to resolve more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged M380 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
