The SX200 IS was manufactured 7 months earlier than the FE-4030 which means that they are of a similar generation. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before getting right into a more detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the SX200 IS scores versus the FE-4030 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use at the time. Here is a front view size comparison of the SX200 IS versus the FE-4030.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX200 IS and FE-4030 is 90 and 95 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The image underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX200 IS and FE-4030.

As you have seen, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Olympus FE-4030 to show greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged SX200 IS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
