Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M200 with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon M200 will produce greater detail because of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer M200 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
