Panasonic TS3 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TS3 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic TS3 will offer you greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The fresher TS3 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
