Below is a thorough analysis of the Canon S110 and Pentax E90, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals Canon and Pentax. The sensor resolution of the S110 (12MP) and the E90 (10MP) is fairly well matched but the S110 (1/1.7") and E90 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor size.

The S110 was announced 2 years later than the E90 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go in to a in-depth comparison, below is a brief view of how the S110 matches up vs the E90 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot S110 and Pentax Optio E90. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon S110 Gallery and Pentax E90 Gallery.

If you're looking to lug around your camera, you should think about its weight and dimensions.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The photograph here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S110 and E90.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S110 having a larger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon S110 will give you greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern S110 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
