Panasonic TS10 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Venus Engine IV processor. On the other hand, Pentax Q has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the TS10 and Q sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic TS10 and Pentax Q Cameras
Panasonic TS10 and Pentax Q have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Panasonic TS10
or the
Pentax Q ,
including hyperfocal distance.
