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 is the direct replacement for the two-year-old Canon EOS M10 . It sits below the company's EOS M6, EOS M5 and EOS M3 models as a beginner-friendly option for those looking to buy their first interchangeable lens camera and pursue photography beyond the limitations of a basic...

Damn those smartphones and their pesky cameras! With almost everyone having a decent snapper in their pocket these days, convincing people to upgrade to a 'real' camera is harder than ever for the likes of Canon.

It is a better camera than a smartphone but it lacks ergonomic design. I found it to be a bit uncomfortable to hold. If you want to record videos from yourself on a tripod, it has great quality. Otherwise, don't buy if your primary objective is photography
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.

Canon's entry-level mirrorless camera, the EOS M100, is the smallest and simplest in the company's range yet, with stripped-back design and flip-up LCD touchscreen. It's designed to appeal to beginners seeking a point-and-shoot experience without compromising on quality.
Really small-scale design; good image quality in good light; touchscreen functionality and point-and-shoot use; excellent wireless connectivity
Limited lens line-up; point-and-shoot design means many manual controls are hard to access; not as beginner-friendly as it could be
