Quite often, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the D200 and HZ35W.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D200 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Samsung HZ35W will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged D200 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
