Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W550 is significantly lighter (40g ) than the Kodak M580 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak EasyShare M580 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W550 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Kodak M580 and Sony W550's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
