Pentax K200D has a
10.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm XF10 has a
24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Fujifilm XF10'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 K200D and XF10 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Pentax K200D and Fujifilm XF10 Cameras
Pentax K200D and Fujifilm XF10 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. On the other hand, since Pentax K200D has 139% larger pixel area compared to Fujifilm XF10, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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 K200D
or the
Fujifilm XF10 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
