Panasonic GM1 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing specifications. The image underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the GM1 and K110D.
Plainly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The GM1 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic GM1 will offer you extra detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher GM1 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
