The M200 was introduced 5 years after the GM1 which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a thorough comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the M200 matches up against the GM1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M200 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1. The whole galleries are available at Canon M200 Gallery & Panasonic GM1 Gallery.

Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by going over specifications. The image here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M200 and GM1.

To sum up, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M200 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon M200 will offer you more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger M200 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
