Canon M200 vs Nikon 1 J1 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M200 and 1 J1.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M200 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon M200 will show greater detail due to its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger M200 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
