Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The picture underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the K-1 and H200.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The K-1 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Pentax K-1 will resolve extra detail because of its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger K-1 provides an edge in sensor technology.
