To sum up, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M200 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon M200 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger M200 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
