Panasonic G85 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the G85 and K110D.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G85 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic G85 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer G85 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
