Panasonic FZ1000 vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ1000 and K200D.
Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FZ1000 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic FZ1000 will result in extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger FZ1000 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
