Panasonic 3D1 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes simply by going over technical specs. The image below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 3D1 and K110D.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 3D1 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic 3D1 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer 3D1 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
