Canon M200 vs Olympus E-P7

Following is a in depth overview of the Canon M200 and Olympus E-P7, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Canon and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the M200 (24MP) and the E-P7 (20MP) is pretty well matched but the M200 (APS-C) and E-P7 (Four Thirds) feature totally different sensor sizing.

The M200 was manufactured 20 months prior to the E-P7 which makes the cameras a generation away from each other. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a complete comparison, below is a brief view of how the M200 matches up against the E-P7 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M200 and Olympus PEN E-P7. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon M200 Gallery and Olympus E-P7 Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera, you need to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon M200 provides outer dimensions of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") and a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Olympus E-P7 has proportions of 118mm x 69mm x 38mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.5") and a weight of 337 grams (0.74 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have attached at the time. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the M200 and the E-P7.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the M200 and E-P7 is 88 and 86 respectively.

Usually, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes simply by looking at specs. The picture here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M200 and E-P7.

All in all, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M200 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon M200 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
