Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The K200D using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony H400 will offer extra detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The older K200D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
