Generally, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through technical specs. The pic here might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M200 and G7 X.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M200 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon M200 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The newer M200 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
