Canon M200 vs Ricoh PX

On this page, we will be reviewing the Canon M200 and Ricoh PX, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Ricoh. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the M200 (24MP) and PX (16MP) and the M200 (APS-C) and PX (1/2.3") boast different sensor sizes.

The M200 was revealed 8 years later than the PX and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon M200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Ricoh PX being a Compact camera.

Before getting into a detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the M200 matches up versus the PX in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M200 and Ricoh PX. The full galleries are provided at Canon M200 Gallery and Ricoh PX Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and volume. The Canon M200 has got external dimensions of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") along with a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Ricoh PX has sizing of 100mm x 55mm x 21mm (3.9" x 2.2" x 0.8") along with a weight of 156 grams (0.34 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have during that time. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the M200 against the PX.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M200 and PX is 88 and 95 respectively.

Typically, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through technical specs. The photograph below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the M200 and PX.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M200 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M200 will produce extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent M200 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
