Olympus 7040 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

All in all, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 7040 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Olympus 7040 will give you more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent 7040 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
