Kodak M580 vs Panasonic S2 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M580 and S2.
Clearly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the same MP so you should expect comparable quality of photos however you have to factor the production date of the cameras into account. The older M580 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
