Oftentimes, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the M200 and a3500.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon M200 to offer you extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer M200 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
