As you can plainly see, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should expect the Pentax K200D to offer greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged K100D S is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
