The K-7 was manufactured 4 years earlier than the H200 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Pentax K-7 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the K-7 matches up vs the H200 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Pentax K-7 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200. The entire galleries are viewable at Pentax K-7 Gallery and Sony H200 Gallery.

If you're going to travel with your camera regularly, you'll have to think about its weight and proportions.

Normally, it's hard to envision the difference in sensor dimensions merely by going through technical specs. The picture underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the K-7 and H200.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The K-7 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony H200 will show more detail due to its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged K-7 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
