FujiFilm AV200 vs Pentax K-500

Lets look much closer at the FujiFilm AV200 and Pentax K-500, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR by rivals FujiFilm and Pentax. The sensor resolution of the AV200 (14MP) and the K-500 (16MP) is very similar but the AV200 (1/2.3") and K-500 (APS-C) feature totally different sensor sizes.

The AV200 was introduced 3 years prior to the K-500 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the FujiFilm AV200 being a Compact camera and the Pentax K-500 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before diving in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the AV200 scores against the K-500 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are working with at that moment. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the AV200 compared to the K-500.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the AV200 and K-500 is 94 and 64 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor sizing just by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the AV200 and K-500.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The AV200 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Pentax K-500 will offer more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images much more aggressively. The older AV200 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
