Both Pentax K10D and Pentax K200D have APS-C sized 10.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the K10D and K200D sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Pentax K10D and Pentax K200D Cameras
Pentax K10D and Pentax K200D have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Pentax K10D 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, K10D has scored 66, 2 points higher than K200D.

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
Pentax K10D
or the
Pentax K200D ,
including hyperfocal distance.
