Olympus E-450 vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The picture here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the E-450 and K200D.
As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact megapixels albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The E-450 has got the tinier sensor which should make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging. The fresher E-450 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
