To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Efina because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Pentax Efina will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger Efina is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
