Panasonic LZ20 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing only by researching specs. The photograph underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the LZ20 and K110D.
All in all, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The LZ20 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Panasonic LZ20 will result in extra detail utilizing its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The younger LZ20 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
