Olympus E-PL2 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The photograph here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-PL2 and K110D.
Plainly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-PL2 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Olympus E-PL2 will resolve extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent E-PL2 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
