Kodak M380 vs Samsung ST65 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions merely by going over specs. The image below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the M380 and ST65.

All in all, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung ST65 to offer more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged M380 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
