Its time to examine more closely at the Pentax KP vs Sony A900, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by brands Pentax and Sony. The image resolution of the KP (24MP) and the A900 (25MP) is relatively similar but the KP (APS-C) and A900 (Full frame) come with different sensor measurements.

The KP was introduced 8 years after the A900 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the KP scores against the A900 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Pentax KP and Sony Alpha DSLR-A900. The whole galleries are viewable at Pentax KP Gallery and Sony A900 Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera often, you'll have to consider its weight and size.

Usually, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the KP and A900.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The KP using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A900 will offer extra detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The newer KP provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
