As you can tell, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 7040 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Pentax K-01 will give more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 7040 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
