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.

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 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...

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
Meet the Canon EOS M100. It's a new entry-level mirrorless camera in Canon's EOS M range, aimed squarely at those looking to find their first ‘proper' camera for better pictures. In form and function, the camera represents a logical upgrade from using a smart phone.
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 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
Ordered for upcoming trips because I wanted a lightweight camera to take with me. The camera is fairly easy to use and takes great quality pictures. I enjoy how quickly I can transfer pictures from the camera to my phone.
Small; lightweight; good photo quality; easy to use; responsive touchscreen

Excellent camera when paired with an EOS-M lens adapter and also with their 11-22 lens. The only primary feature missing for me, coming from their DSLRs, is auto-bracketing mode. There is plenty of manual control when you need it but the lack of 3 or 5 exposure bracketing is annoying.
very easy to use all the time and great pic from it
