Pentax K110D vs Pentax WG-2 GPS Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by looking through specs. The photograph here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the K110D and WG-2 GPS.

As you can plainly see, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The K110D having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Pentax WG-2 GPS will provide you with more detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older K110D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
