As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-410 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Pentax K-01 will render more detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged E-410 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
