Plainly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The K200D with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony W690 will give more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged K200D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
