We all know Canon APS-C sensor have a crop factor of 1.6X and M4/3 format sensor have crop factor of 2X when compared to Fullframe sensor.
But when we are recording 4K videos with Canon 200D II we are getting 1.6X additional crop and a total of 2.56X crop (When compared with 35mm / Fullframe sensor) and when we are using M4/3 format based of Panasonic G95 camera we are getting 1.25X additional crop and a total of 2.5X crop (when compared with a 35mm / Fullframe sensor).
Canon 200D II vs Panasonic G95 – Sensor Area Utilized While Creating 4K videos
Canon 200D II with 2.56X Crop and Panasonic G95 with 2.5X Crop
So, literally same sensor area is being utilized while creating 4K video with Panasonic G95 or Canon 200D II | 250D | SL3.

Panasonic do also offer V-log support and a headphone jack in the camera but limited to 8bit. With Canon 200D II you can get 4:2:2 10-Bit files via HDMI.
Canon 200D II for sure, since we are getting blazing fast AF in Full HD video mode, the AF performance of Canon 200D II will remain better compared to Panasonic G95 due to its enhanced DPAF system. Panasonic 4K mode also suffers from excessive crop and limited AF performance as we canon 200D II / SL3 camera.

BTW, one slight advantage we have with Sony is we will be getting 455 AF points AF support that they do wish to offers us in Live view, video as well as viewfinder mode. Btw with Canon will offer you only 9 point AF when you will be using optical viewfinder (as you know that phase AF module of DSLR camera gets activated when you use the optical viewfinder).
So at the end, in these two model if I have to work on viewfinder mode I will choose Sony A6400 instead of Canon 200D II.

Well we are getting questions related to Canon next announcement from our users, is Canon next announcement is DSLR, Mirrorless or Compact ? Let’s find out in a logical way…
Canon G7X Mark III and Canon G5X Mark II are in announcement pipeline for a long time and we do expect one or both compact announcement on or before June of 2019.
No Mirrorless and DSLR Coming Soon
A cooling period of three months at least after Canon 200D II announcement ?We are getting lot of question about Canon EOS M5 Mark II or Canon 90D announcement after a reputed rumor mill broke out the rumor.
Be assured for there is NO DSLR or Mirrorless camera present inside the announcement pipeline. The only two camera visible right now is Canon G7X Mark III (Model code: PC 2366) and Canon G5X Mark II (Model Code: PC2355) compact camera. We have also published the leaked images of Canon G7X Mark III camera a while ago (as you can see above).
Canon 200D II / SL3 vs Canon 200D / SL2 camera, the camera features more advance AF system, Digital IS and 4K video. So, let’s have a look in a very detailed specification comparison what actually improved inside the camera.

Everything remains look same from specification side. But the sensor is new with more AF points fabricated on it. However, the tech remains same [CMOS] so don’t expect jump in image quality of the camera.
Digital Image stabilization is being introduced inside the camera. Before Canon 200D II / 250D the Digital IS tech was limited to 6D Mark II and Canon T7i / Canon 800D. Now finally we are having the Digital IS feature in 200D II or SL2. When paired up with OIS [Optical image stabilization] it gives support upto 5 stops.
New Image processor – With the introduction of new image processor the Camera company in general also adds new image decoding algorithm and overall operational speed of the camera also improves.
With the introduction of new image processor the camera now records C-RAW files and 4K cropped video.
