Pentax K110D vs Sony H400 Sensor Comparison

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.
