Pentax 645D vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing just by checking technical specs. The visual here may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 645D and H200.

As you can tell, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 645D using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Pentax 645D will give you extra detail because of its extra 20MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older 645D is going to be behind in sensor tech.
