Kodak M550 vs Nikon P330

The following is a in-depth overview of the Kodak M550 and Nikon P330, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by brands Kodak and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the M550 (12MP) and the P330 (12MP) is pretty comparable but the M550 (1/2.3") and P330 (1/1.7") have totally different sensor sizes.

The M550 was revealed 4 years prior to the P330 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief summary of how the M550 matches up against the P330 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak EasyShare M550 and Nikon Coolpix P330. The full galleries are viewable at Kodak M550 Gallery and Nikon P330 Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements. The Kodak M550 has external dimensions of 98mm x 58mm x 23mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 0.9") with a weight of 125 grams (0.28 lbs) and the Nikon P330 has proportions of 103mm x 58mm x 32mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.3") with a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have at the time. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the M550 versus the P330.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the M550 and P330 is 95 and 92 respectively.

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.
