As you have seen, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-P2 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony H200 will result in more detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged E-P2 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
