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.

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.
