Following is a in depth overview of the Kodak M530 versus Nikon S3500, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Kodak and Nikon. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the M530 (12MP) and S3500 (20MP) but they use the same exact sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The M530 was revealed 4 years earlier than the S3500 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a thorough comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the M530 scores against the S3500 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare M530 and Nikon Coolpix S3500. The full galleries are viewable at Kodak M530 Gallery and Nikon S3500 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera regularly, you have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Kodak M530 has got outside measurements of 94mm x 57mm x 23mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 150 grams (0.33 lbs) whilst the Nikon S3500 has measurements of 97mm x 58mm x 21mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.8") and a weight of 129 grams (0.28 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you select during that time. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the M530 vs the S3500.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M530 and S3500 is 95 and 95 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M530 and S3500.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon S3500 to show extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged M530 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
