Plainly, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FZ35 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Pentax K-7 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The fresher FZ35 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
