Compact Canon mirrorless with 24.2MP APS-C sensor, designed for smartphone upgraders wanting interchangeable lens quality.
The Canon EOS M100 is a compact mirrorless camera from 2017 aimed at smartphone upgraders and casual photographers who want interchangeable lens capability in the smallest possible body. It features a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor derived from Canon's proven DSLR technology, delivering a significant image quality improvement over any smartphone.
The camera prioritises simplicity with a touchscreen-centric interface that feels immediately familiar to smartphone users. A flip-up 3-inch LCD screen enables selfies and vlogging, while Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides fast, accurate focusing for both stills and 1080p video recording across the frame.
Build quality is minimalist with a slim plastic body available in multiple colours, designed to appeal as a fashion accessory alongside its photographic function. The body is remarkably small and light, slipping into a coat pocket with a pancake lens attached. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity enable easy sharing to mobile devices.
The EOS M100 offers good value on the used market as an affordable entry to interchangeable lens photography. Canon's EF-M mount provides a small but capable lens lineup, and the EF-M to EF adapter allows access to Canon's vast EF lens ecosystem for photographers who outgrow the native M-mount options.
