Pentax K110D vs Pentax RZ10

Let's look more closely at the Pentax K110D versus Pentax RZ10, former is a Entry-Level DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both are designed by Pentax. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the K110D (6MP) and RZ10 (14MP) and the K110D (APS-C) and RZ10 (1/2.3") boast different sensor dimensions.

The K110D was unveiled 6 years prior to the RZ10 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Pentax K110D being a Compact SLR camera and the Pentax RZ10 being a Compact camera.

Before going straight to a thorough comparison, here is a short view of how the K110D matches up against the RZ10 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Pentax K110D & Pentax Optio RZ10. The full galleries are provided at Pentax K110D Gallery & Pentax RZ10 Gallery.

For those who are looking to travel with your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and volume.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have at the time. Following is a front view measurements comparison of the K110D compared to the RZ10.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the K110D and RZ10 is 67 and 92 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the K110D and RZ10.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The K110D having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Pentax RZ10 will resolve more detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged K110D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
