Olympus E-410 vs Pentax K20D Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The pic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-410 and K20D.

To sum up, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-410 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Pentax K20D will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-410 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
