Pentax Q-S1 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it can be difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing merely by reviewing specifications. The photograph here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q-S1 and ZV-E10.
To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Q-S1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sony ZV-E10 will offer more detail utilizing its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older Q-S1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
