Canon M200 vs Sony NEX-F3

Here is a extended comparison of the Canon M200 vs Sony NEX-F3, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by competitors Canon and Sony. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the M200 (24MP) and NEX-F3 (16MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The M200 was announced 7 years later than the NEX-F3 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the M200 matches up vs the NEX-F3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M200 and Sony Alpha NEX-F3. The whole galleries are provided at Canon M200 Gallery and Sony NEX-F3 Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera frequently, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements.

More often than not, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M200 and NEX-F3.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon M200 to provide you with more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern M200 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
