Olympus VG-110 vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The VG-110 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Olympus VG-110 will offer more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern VG-110 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
