Kodak M530 vs Olympus SH-50

Let's look more closely at the Kodak M530 versus Olympus SH-50, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Kodak and Olympus. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the M530 (12MP) and SH-50 (16MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The M530 was introduced 4 years prior to the SH-50 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the M530 grades versus the SH-50 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak EasyShare M530 and Olympus SH-50. The whole galleries are available at Kodak M530 Gallery and Olympus SH-50 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to carry around your camera, you will need to consider its weight and measurements.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use during that time. The following is a front view overall size comparison of the M530 against the SH-50.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M530 and SH-50 is 95 and 88 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The image below will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M530 and SH-50.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus SH-50 to give more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M530 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
