To sum up, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D200 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon Z9 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 36MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged D200 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
