Both Pentax K200D and Pentax K-m have 10.0 MP resolution sensors but Pentax K200D's sensor is APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) and Pentax K-m's sensor is APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ).
Since Pentax K-m's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Pentax K200D.
Below you can see the K200D and K-m sensor size comparison.
Pentax K200D and Pentax K-m 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.
