The 760D was announced 3 years after the K-r which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before diving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the 760D scores versus the K-r when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 760D & Pentax K-r. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 760D Gallery & Pentax K-r Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera, you are going to need to factor its weight and volume.

Typically, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at a spec sheet. The image here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 760D and K-r.

As you can see, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon 760D to resolve more detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 760D will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
