Panasonic FS15 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FS15 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic FS15 will give more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher FS15 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
