Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M200 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M200 will produce more detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The newer M200 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
