Pentax K110D vs Sony H400 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it can be hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements just by checking technical specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the K110D and H400.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The K110D using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony H400 will give you more detail using its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older K110D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
