Panasonic ZS7 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

All in all, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ZS7 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Panasonic ZS7 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger ZS7 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
