The M550 was revealed 3 years prior to the L610 which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the M550 matches up against the L610 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Kodak EasyShare M550 & Nikon Coolpix L610. The full galleries are viewable at Kodak M550 Gallery & Nikon L610 Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera often, you'll have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The picture here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M550 and L610.

To sum up, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Nikon L610 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged M550 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
