Pentax K-x vs Pentax K110D Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the K-x and K110D.

As you can see, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Pentax K-x to give more detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher K-x should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
