Panasonic ZR3 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by reading technical specs. The visual here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the ZR3 and K110D.

As you have seen, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ZR3 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic ZR3 will offer more detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger ZR3 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
