Olympus E-M10 III vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M10 III and K200D.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 III using its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Olympus E-M10 III will deliver extra detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer E-M10 III should have an advantage in sensor technology.
