Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The picture below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M550 and H20.

As you can tell, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Kodak M550 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent M550 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
