Canon M200 vs Panasonic GH1

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Canon M200 versus Panasonic GH1, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Panasonic. There exists a noticeable gap among the image resolutions of the M200 (24MP) and GH1 (12MP) and the M200 (APS-C) and GH1 (Four Thirds) come with different sensor measurements.

The M200 was introduced 10 years later than the GH1 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Canon M200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a simple summation of how the M200 grades versus the GH1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have attached at the time. Underneath is the front view sizing comparison of the M200 versus the GH1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M200 and GH1 is 88 and 81 respectively.

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out specs. The graphic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M200 and GH1.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M200 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon M200 will provide more detail using its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger M200 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
