Canon 1100D vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

In many cases, its tough to see the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1100D and K110D.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon 1100D to deliver more detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer 1100D is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
