Pentax K-1 vs Sony T110 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by researching a spec sheet. The pic underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the K-1 and T110.

Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The K-1 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Pentax K-1 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 20 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern K-1 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
