Ease of operation is one of the key selling points of the Canon EOS M100, a fun, compact and mirrorless camera. Even though this is considered an entry-level model for those new to interchangeable-lens cameras, it boasts a lot of top-line features.
The ability to access all operations through the M100's full touchscreen interface is one of the big reasons why this model is the epitome of easiness. It's not just a touch screen - it's a 180-degree tilt screen too.
It's just as easy to achieve a fast and precise focus, thanks to dual pixel CMOS AF, touted by Canon as their most advanced autofocus system.
As well as upgrading the sensor to 24.2-megapixels, up from 18-megapixels on previous models, Canon has introduced a new and improved image processor as well, for better overall performance and results.
Experimenting with a new lens from time to time is just part of a photographer's journey as they gain confidence. The M100 gives the user the chance to mix and match with a range of quality lens types - it takes Canon EF-M lenses, as well as EF and EF-S lenses.
If you can change the lens, why not change the colour as well? The M100 gives the user a choice of nine different-coloured jackets to suit the user's individual preferences.

Fantastic camera, takes great photos and has lots of features. Is relatively easy to use and doesn't require a massive amount of experience. The perfect tradeoff between portability of a compact camera and the flexibility + quality of a DSLR. Perfect travel camera.
The Canon EOS M100 has been announced and is slated to hit the streets in Oct 2017. We'll get our hands on a production model as soon as it becomes available, but in the meantime, based on my experience with similar/feature-sharing models, here are my expectations for this camera.
As digital cameras grew in popularity, they were divided into two different cameras. Compact cameras were, by far, the most popular. They were inexpensive, reasonably powerful, and easy to use. DSLR cameras, on the other hand, were significantly more powerful.
The Canon EOS M100 is a predictable addition to the EOS M mirrorless range, but no less exciting for that. It's designed as a first step up from a smartphone, an introduction to ‘real' photography and, Canon hopes, a stepping stone to a more complex mirrorless model like the M5 or M6.
Compact and easy to use; Wifi; Bluetooth and NFC for easy connectivity; 180 degree tilting touch-screen; Dual pixel AF for confident focusing in stills and movies
No USB charging in-camera; Limited native EF-M lens line-up; No remote live video control; No built-in viewfinder or 4k video
Canon has been playing catch up in recent years since brands like Fujifilm and Sony have become competitive with their mirrorless cameras. Not to be outdone, Canon has been improving its mirrorless camera line, and the EOS M100 is a proof to Canon wanting to have a share in the mirrorless market.
In the past, the focus had always been on DSLRs, the cash cow of the Japanese camera maker. Then, there's the fear of cannibalising existing product lines, which has always held back Canon as well as rival Nikon.
. While the Canon EOS M100 isn't for experienced users, it's an excellent choice for a first interchangeable lens camera. The picture quality is quite good, and this is the most affordable camera on the market with Canon's top-tier AutoFocus system.
With an advanced image sensor and Dual CMOS AutoFocus, the Canon EOS M100 is a compact, stylish bargain of a camera; It can capture sharp, vibrant still images and, with its light body and front-facing touchscreen, is great for making quick vlog-style videos
While the camera's internals are good, the M100 suffers from a sometimes soft and slow kit lens; It also lacks 4K video recording (unlike most smartphones); And, while the touchscreen is quite responsive, it's harder to access the camera's more advanced features, which may frustrate more-experienced...
