Let's take a closer look at the Kodak M550 vs Panasonic FH8, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by manufacturers Kodak and Panasonic. There exists a big gap among the resolutions of the M550 (12MP) and FH8 (16MP) but both cameras boast the same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The M550 was revealed 24 months prior to the FH8 which makes them a generation apart from one another. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the M550 scores vs the FH8 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak EasyShare M550 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8. The full galleries are provided at Kodak M550 Gallery and Panasonic FH8 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to carry your camera frequently, you need to take into account its weight and volume. The Kodak M550 features 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) whilst the Panasonic FH8 has sizing of 96mm x 57mm x 19mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 123 grams (0.27 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the M550 vs the FH8.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M550 and FH8 is 95 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by researching specifications. The visual here may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M550 and FH8.

Plainly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic FH8 to result in greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures more aggressively. The older M550 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
