Pentax K-01 vs Pentax K110D

Here, we are analyzing the Pentax K-01 versus Pentax K110D, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR and both of them are built by Pentax. There exists a huge gap among the resolutions of the K-01 (16MP) and K110D (6MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor sizing (APS-C).

Pentax 17 Pre-Orders Outperform Expectations by a Landslide

The K-01 was announced 6 years after the K110D which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Pentax K-01 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Pentax K110D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before getting into a complete comparison, here is a quick summation of how the K-01 grades against the K110D for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Pentax K-01 and Pentax K110D. The whole galleries are available at Pentax K-01 Gallery and Pentax K110D Gallery.

If you're intending to carry around your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Pentax K-01 enjoys outer dimensions of 122mm x 79mm x 58mm (4.8" x 3.1" x 2.3") with a weight of 561 grams (1.24 lbs) and the Pentax K110D has proportions of 129mm x 93mm x 70mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.8") with a weight of 585 grams (1.29 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the K-01 compared to the K110D.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the K-01 and K110D is 76 and 67 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes simply by researching technical specs. The image here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the K-01 and K110D.

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.
