Panasonic G10 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through specs. The picture underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the G10 and K110D.

All in all, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G10 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Panasonic G10 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G10 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
