Olympus 1s vs Pentax K110D

Below, we will be evaluating the Olympus 1s versus Pentax K110D, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR by manufacturers Olympus and Pentax. There exists a large gap between the resolutions of the 1s (12MP) and K110D (6MP) and the 1s (1/1.7") and K110D (APS-C) feature totally different sensor dimensions.

The 1s was introduced 9 years after the K110D which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Pentax K110D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before delving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the 1s grades versus the K110D with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus Stylus 1s & Pentax K110D. The whole galleries are available at Olympus 1s Gallery & Pentax K110D Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera often, you'll have to consider its weight and dimensions. The Olympus 1s offers physical dimensions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") having a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs) while the Pentax K110D has dimensions of 129mm x 93mm x 70mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.8") with a weight of 585 grams (1.29 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you select at the time. Below is the front view scale comparison of the 1s vs the K110D.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 1s and K110D is 79 and 67 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking specs. The pic below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1s and K110D.

All in all, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 1s with its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Olympus 1s will give more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 1s is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
