Panasonic GX1 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to see the difference in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The photograph underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX1 and K110D.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GX1 with its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic GX1 will produce greater detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger GX1 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
