Normally, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by reading technical specs. The visual here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M200 and Z fc.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Canon M200 to deliver extra detail using its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older M200 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
