As you can tell, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon D200 to produce more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged 20Da will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
