Olympus VG-110 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by looking through technical specs. The visual underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the VG-110 and K110D.

As you have seen, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The VG-110 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus VG-110 will render extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer VG-110 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
