    Weather Sealing

    Kodak M320 doesn't have any environmental sealings on its body so you got to be extra careful to protect it against water and dust. If you shoot under these conditions very often, consider checking Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing page.

    Kodak M320 Sensor and Photography Features

    Kodak M320 has a 9.0MP 1/2.5-inch (5.744 x 4.308 mm ) sized CCD sensor . You can shoot at maximum resolution of 3472 x 2604 pixels with aspect ratios of 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9.

    Kodak M320 Lens

    Kodak M320 features a 34-102 mm F2.8-5.1 3× zoom lens. With a focal length of only 34mm on the wide end, it offers very limited wide angle capability . However, 102mm on the tele end means that the medium telephoto angle is well covered, only lacking the reach for wildlife and sports.
