Kodak M580 vs Pentax I-10 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The graphic here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M580 and I-10.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Kodak M580 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively.
