Pentax P70 vs Sony T110 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The image below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the P70 and T110.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony T110 to resolve extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged P70 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
