Pentax K110D vs Sony H55

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Pentax K110D versus Sony H55, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Pentax and Sony. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the K110D (6MP) and H55 (14MP) and the K110D (APS-C) and H55 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor dimensions.

Often, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing technical specs. The image here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the K110D and H55.

As you can tell, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The K110D featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony H55 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged K110D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
