Canon is increasing its focus on mirrorless camera formats which caters to a larger market segment, given the unexpected growing success of mirrorless competitors like Sony and Fujifilm. The Canon EOS M100 was launched in Oct 2017 and replaces the M10 as the entry-level EOS…

The Canon EOS M100 is a nice enough camera, but it fails to truly excite. If you’re using a smartphone and feel a little limited by what a small sensor can deliver, but don’t want the huge bulk of a DSLR or large CSC, the EOS M100 could still potentially be up your street. It produces very good images, and is very easy to use right out of the box without any kind of specialist knowledge - both of which are big plus points. That said, it’s still not small enough to slip into a pocket once you’ve attached even a small lens, so you’re still going to have the inconvenience of an extra device. You may also find that you relatively quickly outgrow the M100. After all, if you’re going to bother having an extra device with you, you might as well make it something that you really get involved with. With a lack of a viewfinder, a relatively stunted set of dials and buttons, and no 4K video shooting, you may find yourself quickly looking elsewhere for something a little more advanced.

In keeping with its naming schemes, where fewer digits denote higher-end models, Canon has effectively demoted its basic EOS M10 mirrorless to M100 in conjunction with its two-year update. It's an odd choice since there isn't a lot of room for differentiation between the M5 and M6 and the M100 that would merit opening up a naming gap -- hopefully, that means there's a change coming.

The company's renamed replacement for the EOS M10 seems like a stripped-down version of the M5 and M6.

I love everything about this camera

A camera that is light and compact yet has all the best features of a large camera.

Great little camera with plenty of features for it's size. Plus can use all the other Canon lenses with an adaptor. Photo quality is good. Would have preferred a smaller lens as the 15-45mm makes some items difficult something down around 10-45 would have been better. The zoom lens is handy. Overall nice unit.

The camera takes high quality photos and was easy to connect to my phone. 10/10 would recommend:)

The EOS M100 is Canon's smallest and cheapest mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, and is perfectly suited to its intended audience of smartphone users looking to step up their photography game. The touchscreen controls are polished and approachable, image quality is great, and the full auto mode works impressively well. Video and burst shooting specifications are behind the competition, but overall, the M100 is a solid camera that represents a great value in Canon's lineup.

First-time camera buyers and beginning photographers interested in general photography, travel photographers, anyone looking for a small camera with great image quality.;

Advanced photographers that want more direct control, video shooters that need a better feature set, and photographers that want to get into sports and action photography.;

Casual snapshooters and family documentarians take note: The Canon EOS M100 ($599 with 15-45mm lens) is a mirrorless camera that gets a lot right. It corrects the missteps that Canon made with its first mirrorless releases, delivering speedy autofocus and solid image quality. It's one of the smaller mirrorless models on the market, with a big touch LCD that will appeal to smartphone photographers. It's not our absolute favorite affordable mirrorless option—that's the Sony a6000—but it's a fine alternative for casual shooters who don't mind the absence of an EVF. Design The M100 ($649.00 at Amazon) is one of the smaller mirrorless cameras out there. It measures 2.6 by 4.3 by 1.4 inches (HWD) without a lens and weighs about 10.7 ounces. The included 15-45mm zoom is well matched, coming in at 1.8 by 2.4 inches (HD) and adding just 4.6 ounces. The entire package weighs less than a pound and, while it won't fit in your pocket, it also won't take up that much room in a bag. Similar P...
