As you have seen, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M200 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon M200 will deliver more detail having its extra 9.8MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The more recent M200 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
