Canon 300D vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison

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.
