As you have seen, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The PL200 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sigma fp L will deliver greater detail with its extra 47 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older PL200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
