Both camera sensors are using same CMOS tech, None of them are using BSI CMOS. But, despite of that Sony A6400 offers you more ISO range compared to Canon.
Not only that, Sony CMOS sensor do show up better ISO range, dynamic range and we do believe that Sony A6400 will give you better still images compared to Canon 200D II at higher ISO.
More White balance presets in Sony A6400 will allow you to quickly set-up white balance depending on the scene type in still or video.
Continuous shooting speed of Sony is more fast compared to Canon. With Canon you will remain limited to 5FPS per second with Sony you will be getting 11FPS speed.

Canon 200D II features optical viewfinder and Sony A6400 electronic, selection of type viewfinder depends personal test. 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.

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.
