Pentax K110D vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the K110D and Q7.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The K110D because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Pentax Q7 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos more aggressively. The older K110D is going to be behind in sensor tech.
