Olympus 7030 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 7030 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Olympus 7030 will offer more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 7030 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
