Canon M200 vs Panasonic GF7 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing specs. The image here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M200 and GF7.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M200 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon M200 will provide you with more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern M200 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
