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.
