Pentax Efina vs Pentax K200D

Let's examine more in depth at the Pentax Efina versus Pentax K200D, one being a Ultracompact and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and they are both built by Pentax. There exists a sizeable gap among the image resolutions of the Efina (14MP) and K200D (10MP) and the Efina (1/2.3") and K200D (APS-C) enjoy different sensor sizes.

The Efina was introduced 4 years later than the K200D and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Pentax Efina being a Ultracompact camera and the Pentax K200D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick summary of how the Efina matches up against the K200D in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Pentax Efina and Pentax K200D. The whole galleries are viewable at Pentax Efina Gallery and Pentax K200D Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Pentax Efina offers exterior dimensions of 87mm x 54mm x 21mm (3.4" x 2.1" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 91 grams (0.20 lbs) and the Pentax K200D has proportions of 134mm x 95mm x 74mm (5.3" x 3.7" x 2.9") along with a weight of 690 grams (1.52 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have attached at that time. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the Efina against the K200D.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Efina and K200D is 97 and 61 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing just by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Efina and K200D.

Plainly, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Efina with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Pentax Efina will provide you with more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The fresher Efina should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
