Olympus 7040 vs Pentax K-1 II Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes simply by checking technical specs. The pic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7040 and K-1 II.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 7040 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Pentax K-1 II will give you more detail with its extra 22MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged 7040 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
