Kodak M550 vs Nikon P7800

Let's look more in depth at the Kodak M550 versus Nikon P7800, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by competitors Kodak and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the M550 (12MP) and the P7800 (12MP) is pretty close but the M550 (1/2.3") and P7800 (1/1.7") boast different sensor size.

The M550 was manufactured 4 years earlier than the P7800 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a thorough comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the M550 scores versus the P7800 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak EasyShare M550 and Nikon Coolpix P7800. The entire galleries are viewable at Kodak M550 Gallery and Nikon P7800 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera regularly, you should factor its weight and proportions. The Kodak M550 has outer dimensions of 98mm x 58mm x 23mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 0.9") having a weight of 125 grams (0.28 lbs) and the Nikon P7800 has measurements of 119mm x 78mm x 50mm (4.7" x 3.1" x 2.0") having a weight of 399 grams (0.88 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the M550 and the P7800.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M550 and P7800 is 95 and 82 respectively.

Normally, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing technical specs. The visual below should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M550 and P7800.

As you have seen, both of those cameras feature the identical megapixel count albeit different sensor sizing. The M550 contains the smaller sensor which will make obtaining shallower depth of field tougher. The older M550 will be behind in sensor innovation.
