Olympus E-410 vs Pentax K-x

Here, we will be comparing the Olympus E-410 versus Pentax K-x, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras by competitors Olympus and Pentax. The sensor resolution of the E-410 (10MP) and the K-x (12MP) is pretty well matched but the E-410 (Four Thirds) and K-x (APS-C) posses different sensor dimensions.

The E-410 was released 3 years before the K-x and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the E-410 grades against the K-x when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus E-410 and Pentax K-x. The complete galleries are available at Olympus E-410 Gallery and Pentax K-x Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry your camera often, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Olympus E-410 comes with outside measurements of 130mm x 91mm x 53mm (5.1" x 3.6" x 2.1") and a weight of 435 grams (0.96 lbs) whilst the Pentax K-x has dimensions of 123mm x 92mm x 68mm (4.8" x 3.6" x 2.7") having a weight of 580 grams (1.28 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are employing at the time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the E-410 versus the K-x.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the E-410 and K-x is 77 and 69 respectively.

Often, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-410 and K-x.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The E-410 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Pentax K-x will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older E-410 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
