The E-600 was introduced 13 months later than the K200D which makes them a generation apart from each other. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the E-600 scores vs the K200D in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus E-600 and Pentax K200D. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus E-600 Gallery and Pentax K200D Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera, you are going to need to think about its weight and measurements.

Often, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by reading specifications. The visual underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-600 and K200D.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-600 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Olympus E-600 will deliver more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more modern E-600 provides an edge in sensor technology.
