The 300D was introduced 6 years prior to the K200D which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before delving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a simple view of how the 300D grades versus the K200D with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 300D & Pentax K200D. The whole galleries are available at Canon 300D Gallery & Pentax K200D Gallery.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are working with at that time. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the 300D against the K200D.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 300D and K200D is 63 and 61 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking technical specs. The image underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 300D and K200D.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Pentax K200D to give you greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged 300D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
