More often than not, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over specs. The graphic below will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the D2H and K10D.

All in all, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Pentax K10D to deliver more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older D2H is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
