In many cases, it can be difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing simply by checking specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M200 and E-PM2.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M200 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon M200 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M200 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
