Canon R10 vs Pentax K-01 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The image below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and K-01.
To sum up, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon R10 to offer greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent R10 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
