Canon T7 has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4+ processor. On the other hand, Pentax K200D has a
10.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Canon T7's sensor provides 14MP more than Pentax K200D's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the T7 and K200D sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Pentax K200D has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon T7. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Canon T7 and Pentax K200D sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, T7 has scored 71, 7 points higher than K200D.
