Canon EOS M100

Good wireless connectivity ; Small and lightweight ; Responsive touchscreen ; Well built for an entry-level model

Lacks guided user interface ; Very basic controls ; Doesn't offer support for a viewfinder ; Very basic controls

The Canon EOS M100 picks up where the Canon EOS M10 left off, but it’s very basic, rather expensive, and has room for improvement in areas of its handling and manual control. Anyone buying their first interchangeable camera or looking to take their...

Very good image quality ; Super-simple for novices ; Fast and responsive autofocus ; Compact retracting kit lens

No viewfinder ; Everyday adjustments fiddly ; Full HD not 4K video ; Not especially easy to grip

The EOS M100 has been designed to be simple and unintimidating for novices and smartphone photographers, and it succeeds at that really well – but if you're looking for a camera that can grow with your technical skills you could soon find it frustrating.

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

If you're looking for DSLR image quality in a point-and-shoot-style camera, then the Canon EOS M100 makes a lot of sense. However, for us, it's a bit of a hit-and-miss camera.

Small size ; Large sensor ; Easy to use

No viewfinder (or option to add one) ; No 4K video ; You might quickly outgrow it

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.

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...

As we've said in our shooting experience, the EOS M100 is just a fun camera to use. Even for seasoned photographers, it's a freeing experience being able to use the M100 in full auto, have great image quality from the large APS-C sensor, and stuff it...
