Panasonic FH22 vs Pentax K110D

In this write-up, we will be reviewing the Panasonic FH22 vs Pentax K110D, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR by competitors Panasonic and Pentax. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the FH22 (14MP) and K110D (6MP) and the FH22 (1/2.3") and K110D (APS-C) feature totally different sensor size.

The FH22 was unveiled 3 years later than the K110D and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic FH22 being a Compact camera and the Pentax K110D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before going in to a in depth comparison, below is a short view of how the FH22 scores vs the K110D when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH22 and Pentax K110D. The full galleries are provided at Panasonic FH22 Gallery and Pentax K110D Gallery.

For those who are looking to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to consider its weight and measurements. The Panasonic FH22 provides physical measurements of 100mm x 57mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.2" x 1.1") with a weight of 170 grams (0.37 lbs) and the Pentax K110D has proportions of 129mm x 93mm x 70mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.8") having a weight of 585 grams (1.29 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you use at the time. Underneath is the front view overall size comparison of the FH22 versus the K110D.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FH22 and K110D is 94 and 67 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at technical specs. The graphic underneath will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH22 and K110D.

As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FH22 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic FH22 will resolve greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger FH22 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
