Olympus 7000 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

All in all, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 7000 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Olympus 7000 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos more aggressively. The more recent 7000 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
