Panasonic ZS60 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the ZS60 and K110D.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ZS60 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic ZS60 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The newer ZS60 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
