Brought this camera for a upcoming holiday. Its great for people who are starting to want more than the average digital camera.

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…

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.

The 24-megapixel Canon EOS M100 mirrorless camera is made for novices who yearn to capture more professional-looking shots or video than they can using a smartphone or a point-and-shoot, but find most advanced cameras intimidating.

Variety of intuitive scene modes and settings; Lightweight and easy to use; Very good in low light and challenging lighting situations; Responsive swiveling touch-screen LCD; Relatively inexpensive

No electronic viewfinder; Lacks 4K video; No hot shoe for external flash; Smaller lens selection than what other mirrorless cameras offer

Wireless connectivity consistent Compact and does not weigh much Responsive touchscreen Entry-level camera with basic but easy to understand features Great colours

Lacks guided user interface Basic controls; no micro sd entrance Price seems high Plastic feel

The EOS M100, which was announced by Canon at the end of August in 2017, replaces the two-year-old EOS M10 at the entry level in Canon's mirrorless camera line-up. Marginally larger and heavier, the new model features higher resolution, the latest DIGIC 7 processor and Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

. 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...

A bit of background, I have a Canon DSLR and its share of heavy lenses and was looking for a walk around camera without loosing too much quality. I also own a Sony a6500, which should have filled the bill, but luminous lenses arena€?t part of Sony APS-C lenses lineup, and third party lenses are big.

Canon has done a good job with the EOS M100. It doesn't sacrifice any image quality or focus speed compared with the higher-end models in the line. Instead, it focuses on making things easy and making the camera portable enough so that you won't mind taking it with you to events or on vacation.

Very compact; 24MP APS-C image sensor; Fast autofocus; 6.1fps burst shooting; Tilting touch LCD; Built-in flash; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

No EVF or mic input; Not a lot of native lenses available; Touch interface will turn off pros and shutterbugs; 1080p video feels dated

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...
