Olympus E-PL9 vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements merely by checking specifications. The visual below might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-PL9 and K200D.
Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-PL9 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Olympus E-PL9 will give you extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer E-PL9 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
