Pentax K-1 II vs Sony HX200V

Let's take a closer look at the Pentax K-1 II versus Sony HX200V, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Pentax and Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the K-1 II (36MP) and HX200V (18MP) and the K-1 II (Full frame) and HX200V (1/2.3") use totally different sensor size.

More often than not, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through specs. The pic here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the K-1 II and HX200V.

All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The K-1 II because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Pentax K-1 II will render extra detail due to its extra 18MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger K-1 II is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
