Let's look a little more closely at the Kodak M550 vs Olympus 6000, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by brands Kodak and Olympus. The resolution of the M550 (12MP) and the 6000 (10MP) is fairly similar and they feature the same exact sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The M550 was revealed 7 months later than the 6000 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a complete comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the M550 scores versus the 6000 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak EasyShare M550 and Olympus Stylus Tough 6000. The full galleries are provided at Kodak M550 Gallery and Olympus 6000 Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera, you need to factor in its weight and measurements.

More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M550 and 6000.

Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Kodak M550 to offer more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The fresher M550 will have an edge in sensor technology.
