The 450D was manufactured 12 years before the M200 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 450D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon M200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a complete comparison, here is a short highlight of how the 450D matches up versus the M200 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, its tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The photograph below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 450D and M200.

To sum up, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon M200 to resolve more detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older 450D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
