Olympus 9000 vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The image here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 9000 and K200D.
As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 9000 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Olympus 9000 will resolve extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 9000 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
