Olympus 7010 vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out technical specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 7010 and K200D.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 7010 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus 7010 will show more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 7010 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
