Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TS1 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Pentax 645D will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 28 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older TS1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
