Panasonic GH1 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by reading technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the GH1 and K110D.
As you can tell, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GH1 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic GH1 will offer more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger GH1 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
