Why bother with power via USB? Should be simpler to just use an AC battery adapter.

I would grab an original M body off ebay for cheap, install magic lantern, and use an hdmi capture device connected to your pc.

M body = about 160 usd on ebay

Power adapter = 20-30 usd aftermarket

Magic lantern = free

HDMI to USB capture = about 30-100+ depending

The total would still come out lower than buying a new m200 and you would get many more video features with magic lantern.
