Pentax K110D vs Pentax E85

Here, we are analyzing the Pentax K110D versus Pentax E85, former is a Entry-Level DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both are built by Pentax. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the K110D (6MP) and E85 (12MP) and the K110D (APS-C) and E85 (1/2.3") provide different sensor sizing.

The K110D was introduced 4 years earlier than the E85 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Pentax K110D being a Compact SLR camera and the Pentax E85 being a Compact camera.

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple view of how the K110D scores versus the E85 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Pentax K110D & Pentax Optio E85. The whole galleries are provided at Pentax K110D Gallery & Pentax E85 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to travel with your camera often, you have to take into account its weight and size. The Pentax K110D features outside measurements of 129mm x 93mm x 70mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.8") along with a weight of 585 grams (1.29 lbs) and the Pentax E85 has specifications of 93mm x 58mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.3" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 145 grams (0.32 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the K110D versus the E85.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the K110D and E85 is 67 and 95 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The picture below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the K110D and E85.

Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The K110D using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Pentax E85 will resolve greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged K110D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
