Pentax K-S2 vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison
Normally, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the K-S2 and K110D.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Pentax K-S2 to render extra detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The newer K-S2 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
