M100 vs M200:

M200 advantages:

The AF is much better on the M200.

  1. It has Dual Pixel eye-detect autofocus
  2. It has 2 EV better working range: EV -4 - 18 (f/1.4). M100 has -1 - 18 (f/2.0).
  3. It has Spot AF
  4. M200 has up to 143 AF points. M100 has 49

This.  Point 1 and 3 are important for doing portraits with the f/1.4 lenses.

The M50II probably has the best eye AF of all M camera's, and it's not a whole lot more expensive than the M200, so that might be the best value for money, however, the OP wants a truly compact option for lenses including 2  f/1.4 lenses, so the M200 is the one to get.

The M200 has a Digic 8 prosessor. M100 has Digic 7. (Overall the M200 feels much snappier.)

It can shoot in C-RAW format.

It has "Ambience Priority" and "White Priority" options in the AWB settings.

Digital Lens Optimizer is added to the "Lens aberration correction" in the menu.

Battery life of approx. 315 shots (vs. 295)

It can shoot vertical video.

It can shoot 4K, 24p video (1.6x crop)

M100 advantages:

Sensor cleaning and wifi button.

If the OP wants primes just for the sharpest landscape pics possible the M100 will be fine.  For shooting portraits the M200 is better.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
