Oftentimes, it can be difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the VG-145 and K-1 II.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The VG-145 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Pentax K-1 II will render extra detail due to its extra 22 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged VG-145 will be behind in sensor technology.
