The M381 was manufactured 4 years before the WB250F and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Kodak M381 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung WB250F being a Compact camera.

Before diving into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the M381 grades vs the WB250F in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M381 and WB250F.

Plainly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung WB250F to show extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older M381 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
