The 1100D was unveiled 12 years prior to the KF which is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a short highlight of how the 1100D scores versus the KF when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 1100D & Pentax KF. The full galleries are available at Canon 1100D Gallery & Pentax KF Gallery.

In many cases, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 1100D and KF.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Pentax KF to resolve more detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged 1100D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
