Olympus 9000 vs Pentax K110D

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Olympus 9000 versus Pentax K110D, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR by companies Olympus and Pentax. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the 9000 (12MP) and K110D (6MP) and the 9000 (1/2.3") and K110D (APS-C) possess different sensor size.

The 9000 was released 3 years later than the K110D and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus 9000 being a Compact camera and the Pentax K110D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before getting through a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the 9000 scores against the K110D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus Stylus 9000 and Pentax K110D. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus 9000 Gallery and Pentax K110D Gallery.

When you are intending to carry your camera often, you'll need to factor its weight and measurements.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. The following is the front view over all size comparison of the 9000 against the K110D.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 9000 and K110D is 92 and 67 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 9000 and K110D.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 9000 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus 9000 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The newer 9000 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
