The WS80 was revealed 4 years earlier than the H200 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Pentax WS80 being a Compact camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the WS80 scores versus the H200 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Usually, it is tough to see the difference in sensor sizing simply by researching a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the WS80 and H200.

Clearly, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H200 to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older WS80 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
