Kodak M550 vs Nikon P330 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it can be hard to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by checking out a spec sheet. The image here should give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M550 and P330.
Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The M550 has the smaller sensor which should make obtaining bokeh more challenging. The more aged M550 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
