Olympus FE-47 vs Pentax K-1 II Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-47 and K-1 II.

As you can see, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FE-47 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Pentax K-1 II will resolve extra detail because of its extra 22 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
