Pentax KP vs Sony H200

Here is a extensive comparison of the Pentax KP versus Sony H200, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Pentax and Sony. The image resolution of the KP (24MP) and the H200 (20MP) is fairly close but the KP (APS-C) and H200 (1/2.3") use different sensor dimensions.

The KP was introduced 4 years later than the H200 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Pentax KP being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight into a detailed comparison, below is a short overview of how the KP matches up versus the H200 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Usually, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching technical specs. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the KP and H200.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The KP with its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh easier and the Pentax KP will result in extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The newer KP should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
