i have plan to trade my Canon M3 for M200 for smaller form factor and lighter weight, pair with 11-22. How do you feel about the build quality? i don't mind plastic as long as it's dense and solid enough in hand.

I like the build quality of the M200 a lot, and really like the surface. Even though it's black plastic it looks and feels more like metal. I actually prefer it to the M6 Mark ii which is rubberized, and after 1.5 years of hard use has dulled somewhat and feels a little slippery.

And oddly, even though the M200 doesn't have the deep grid the M6ii has, I find holding it and using it to be no issue at all, even though I have big hands. the texture of the patterned surface and the top trim is rough enough to get a really good grip.
