To sum up, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M200 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon M200 will resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The more recent M200 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
