As you can tell, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Pentax K-01 to render greater detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger K-01 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
