The sensor resolution of K200D is greater than that of K100D. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (K100D), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Pentax K100D, the maximum ISO is greater by 1600. Both cameras have Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 2-inch fixed screen.
