Often, its hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by researching specifications. The image here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the K110D and QX10.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The K110D with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Sony QX10 will render greater detail with its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged K110D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
