EOS M100 Mirrorless Camera w/ 15-45mm Lens - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC Enabled (Black) (2209C011)

If you're looking for a portable and powerful little mirrorless camera, then look no further. The M100 packs a punch with a 24MP APS-C sensor, a new Digic 7 processor (which is competitive with much more expensive DSLR's), the option to changes lenses (Canon EF-M line) and offers an easy to use interface via a touchscreen. I've read some reviews where people say that this camera is short on physical controls – no argument here, but is that a bad thing? It was designed that way on purpose and gives you access to all camera settings via a touchscreen interface, which most consumers (non-professionals) would probably prefer anyway. This camera was designed to provide a portable solution with relatively high-end performance. The M100 sports a solid Auto mode, but, if you're interested in stretching yourself creatively or controlling the camera manually (Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed), you have to ability to do that with this camera. The Canon menu is, in my opinion, the easiest to navigate, and is very straightforward. Another great feature of this camera is the Dual-Pixel Autofocus that Canon utilizes on much more expensive cameras in their line-up. While taking video and photos, this camera is very quick to focus and doesn't usually fall prey to the dreaded autofocus hunt while capturing content. I personally like the overall design of the camera. It also features WiFi and Bluetooth for easy sharing with my cell phone, so that I can quickly edit and post images no matter where I am. The M100 also features a flip-up LCD screen that allows you to see yourself while filming and taking photos – lending itself to be a great vlogging camera. However, the camera doesn't have a microphone jack, so you would either have to accept internal audio (which is pretty decent in quiet environments) or capture audio externally and sync in post. All those good things being said, there are some features that this camera doesn't have. The M100 doesn't have 4K, a large lens line-up like Sony, an ergonomic grip, or a hot shoe. The important thing to remember about the M100 is that it is designed to be a compact APS-C mirrorless camera, that gives the user the freedom to change lenses and grow with the camera. It is designed as an entry-level camera, and to be approachable for people who're starting to take photography more seriously. It takes beautiful photos and video, is easy to use and is a serious upgrade in image quality from a cell phone (yes, even Apple and Samsung products). While there are some improvements that Canon can certainly make regarding their mirrorless camera offerings, I firmly believe that the M100 provides the best VALUE in their entire mirrorless line and I have been very happy with the quality of this camera, especially given the price.

Someone has to be the first, and I guess I'm it. I'm an amateur photographer who has been playing with SLR cameras for the last 40 years. This camera was bought to replace a Canon S95, and potentially be the backup to my 5D2, which has been intermittently reporting the dreaded "Error 30" shutter issue recently. Right now, Amazon are offering a great bundle of this body (comes with the 15-45mm kit lens) and an EF to EF-M adapter, saving you around $100 - appealing to the Canon photographer. The appeal of being able to use some of my nicer EF lenses was what swayed me to purchase. The camera is slightly bigger than the S95 body and is nice to hold, has a good metal/rubber grip finish and feels sturdy. The kit lens pictures are exactly what you would expect from such a lens; it is not very sharp unless stopped down, but it's OK for the casual photographer, and 15-45mm is a good outdoor range for landscapes and such. Focus is relatively quick and mostly good, typical Canon. Taking a photo produces a satisfying shutter noise, and makes it feel like a 'real' SLR camera. The screen is excellent and the tilt function will finally let me and the wife take selfies without guessing (although I often love the surprise of how they turn out). The menu system is already driving me crazy, but I will caveat this with the fact that I have had limited playtime so far. Canon, in their 'wisdom' decided to do away with what are the most often used features of my little S95; that being Av and Tv (aperture priority and shutter speed priority) direct selection on the top rotary selector. This may be partially overcome via assigning functions to virtual buttons, and there also appears to be a way to specify the order and number of quick access functions, which will help. Note that the touch screen is pretty much how you interact with the camera functions to get to the nitty-gritty manual modes, and it's a variation of the typical Canon interface we all know, so takes time to get used to. All of this only matters if you like to get involved in your pictures and be a little creative. The menu is what's knocking down this review a star. Maybe I'll get used to it. The manual is a joke also. It's oversimplified to the point of uselessness. For instance, "Aperture Priority" is not even in the index of functions. I am finding this camera to be a mish-mash of pro features but caged in an interface geared for the casual photographer. So, I'll still be using my 5D more often than not, but this appears to be a great camera when needing a smaller, portable setup. As often is said; the best camera for the occasion is the one you have with you in that moment, right? I'm looking forward to trying out the 22mm prime lens offered, let's see how that sharpens things up. I will update this after I have had a chance to properly road test this, and also see how it performs with my EF lenses, no matter how awkward that will look! I still have to test out the the wireless functions too. EDIT 11/2017: I returned this camera along with the 22mm prime lens. The whole setup simply was not sharp or wide enough for me in landscape scenarios, so, I am back to my little S95, hunting for another big DSLR to replace the 5D.

I've played with my Canon M-100 for the better part of 5 months and thought I'd share a few observations. Make no mistake - this is a fine, lightweight mirrorless camera which performs well under most lighting conditions and which will make most buyers very happy with its long battery life, multiple shooting modes, and ability to swap out lenses. I think it is especially ideal out-of-the-box for travel/landscape photos as the zoom lens that comes with the kit is limited to wider angles. This is part of the reason why I bought it (the other reason was because I knew I could swap in an adapter and use some old prime manual Minolta lenses with the M100's body). It easily fits in an over-the-shoulder bag with room to spare and is very light if work around the neck. I also love the flip-screen viewscreen as it lets me shoot from the waist almost as if I had an old Rolleiflex twin lens. A few caveats, then. Hopefully these won't be deal-breakers. 1. There's no viewfinder. 2. The view screen doubles as a touch-sensitive screen from which you will access most controls. The amount of control you can get through the on-camera knobs is negligible. (This shouldn't be a problem for younger users who are used to tap screens on iPads and iPhones, but will give some grief to those who are more comfortable with manual dialing). 3. There's a shutter noise that can't be turned off. This could be a problem if you are a street photographer or if you are photographing a skittish small animal. (All other noises can be shut off easily.) 4. No matter how I've tried, I haven't been able to transfer photos from the camera to my smartphone via either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. So I gave up and just connect the camera via a cord. 5. It can be a chore both accessing the memory card and getting it in and out of its slot. 6. This is an APS-C sensor and not a full-frame sensor. As I've mentioned, I love this camera and take it out for photo sessions at least once a week when travelling. However, all of the caveats I've mentioned are things that I think should be clear to the consumer prior to buying and that's why I've mentioned them. Happy shooting!

Perfect camera for me. I'm not a 'photo guy' type, I just recognize the difference between a smartphone shot and a 'real' camera shot, and I want photos of my kids to look as good as my father's that were taken on a Canon film SLR years ago. I have a rudimentary understanding of aperture, f-stop, etc., but I don't want to mess with that stuff. I just want point and shoot convenience with high quality. So this camera's large sensor, good optics, and simpler interface are perfect for me. I used to have a Sony RX100, and was disappointed with the photos it produced, but this little gem can reliably get shots that look like they were shot by a pro on a big DSLR without any muss or fuss from me. I have only ever used to auto setting on this camera, and that's exactly what I want. I think a big part is the autofocus system which I find to be fast, reliable, and easy to use via the touchscreen interface. So if you're a 'serious photographer' and coming from a DSLR, I can see how this camera's feature set may annoy you. But this camera is not for you. It is great for people like me who appreciate quality photography but don't want to have to master a DSLR to get it.

Absolutely stunning pictures. The colors, the sharpness and the level of detail have to be seen to be believed. This is leagues ahead of any smartphone and on par with DSLRs. (I used to own a Nikon DSLR.) Very easy to use. Very fast. Decent battery lifeS. The pictures tend to come out better than what you see on the LCD screen. The app takes a few minutes to set up but once you get the hang of it, it’s trivial to use. The camera body is very small but the lens takes up space. That’s the price you pay for a range of lenses. Overall, an absolutely spectacular little camera and well worth it if memories and pictures matter.

I wasn't expecting the same kind of performance one would get from a much more expensive DSLR or even higher end mirrorless camera. However, the relatively large APS-C sensor was a draw, and the availability of a variety of EF-M and compatibility (via adapter) with other Canon lenses was a plus. Now, I know this camera is aimed squarely at those stepping up from smartphone photography. For those people, this is a great (surprisingly compact) camera. For those that want a little more control, it really depends on how much you're willing to give up. There's no hot shoe. For videographers, there's no dedicated audio-in. You're stuck with the built in microphone. Most significantly, there's no viewfinder. I knew this going in, and it was a gamble as to whether or not using the touchscreen would be a pleasure or a pain. For me, it's leaning more toward pain. It's difficult to see in bright sunlight. Also, my large hands have endowed me with sizable fingertips. Fiddling around with settings that would otherwise be a much easier and tactile experience on a device with more physical dials and buttons is occasionally an exercise in frustration. Especially in bright light, it's very difficult for me to make use of the manual control, which is already not as accessible in the on-screen menus as I'd like. BUT... for smartphone snappers accustomed to tapping to focus/snap and not much else, the touchscreen is very easy to use. In fully automatic mode, the camera does a great job if you can sacrifice manual aperture and shutter control or don't have any idea why you would want to do such a thing. In short: This is a great camera for those with smartphone camera usability expectations, who also have small-ish fingers.

This is my first Canon camera, before I used Nikon, Fuji and Pentax. Have to admit very good image quality and lot of potential functionality available behind simplest point-and-shoot mode. Some functionality is completely missing - i.e. it has no hot flash shoe. But most users won't suffer from that a lot. The body is really small even for my not big hands, you must to be very careful to not drop the camera but as result it won't take much space in your luggage, I was able to put it in my jacket pocket. Overall I was very impressed by combination of moderate price and available functionality included in quite compact and lightweight body. While the camera is targeting primarily smartphone users who want's to extend their functionality it definitely can be useful for much more experienced photographers. Unfortunately all these pros are counter-weighted by bad user interface. Camera with rich functionality must be accompanied with comprehensive controls. Unfortunately, most of control can be done only via touch screen. Even more, many settings are available only in the configuration menu which is badly implemented. It is context-based menu and depends on photo mode some menu items are not shown. That confuses a lot when you cannot find an option and only then realize it is not applicable for current mode. Instead, non-available menu items should be simply grayed out. Another aspect - confusing usage of physical controls. The camera has very good control element - adjustment wheel, conveniently located (unfortunately only one, by that can be explained by small size and price). But by some reason some setting values are adjusted by the wheel, some - by arrows, some can be changed by both. That is confusing. Next - the control ring around shutter button has only three modes - A+, Photo and Video. It would be very convenient to have at least Av, Pv, M modes here too. As I already notice, thanks to missing hot shoe socket the usage of external flash is possible only using optical slave flash. That is a reasonable decision for such small camera body. But that could be easily compensated by built-in wireless flash interface, but it is missing too. Next, by some reason the camera automatically wakes up from Display Off mode by simple rotation of the camera. So if it hangs on your neck it will never turn the display off. Next, it is very easy turn the camera on by accidental press on "WiFi" button. Was it done for purpose I don't know. But it is very annoying to see camera powered on when you simply takes it in your hand (the button is located right under big finger grip). Finally, user manual. Let's start with printed one, which is a complete joke. First of all the manual was designed in color, but the printout is in B&W which makes some information even non-readable. Next, it's printed in small format and they squeeze two format pages into one printed! That makes the text very difficult to and screenshots are almost useless. I guess Canon tried to save paper but got absolutely opposite result - the printed manual has only one destination - trash can. Soft copy available for download on Canon website. Unlike printed version you can easily read it on your computer. But still, the description of camera options is very brief and not systematic. Also some information (about custom function configuration) is completely missing in the manual! Thanks god Canon provides another yet online manual called "Help Manual" which basically repeat the same information but in more details and custom functions are covered here. Still, not the best manual I ever red. I think, instead of two manuals they should compose one and make it in two parts - basic functionality and advanced. Conclusion - Cannon EOS M100 camera has combination of very good functionality and disappointing user interface. Looks like Canon tried to target wide area of users and failed to satisfy either one - the control system is confusing for beginners, and inconvenient for advanced users. Some of issues can be fixed by firmware update. I hope Canon will do that.

I got this camera for travelling, vlogging and amateur photography. Honestly I am completely blown away at the quality of this thing. I was considering this or the G7x Mark II, but I think I made the right decision to go with the M100. There aren't too many lens options for it currently, but I think in the future there will be more, so I plan on using this thing for as long as I can. The image quality is ridiculously gorgeous. I love having the tilted LCD, and it doesn't feel flimsy or cheap at all. It's very sturdy and responsive. Overall, I love it and am glad I got it.

Gostei muito da qualidade e dela ser capaz de transferir por wi-fi. Mas não tem entrada pra microfone externo. E a lente embaça internamente com a umidade.

I am not great expert, the Canon EOS M100 is my first interchangeable lens camera. But I love it. It takes gorgeous photographs and even out of the camera JPGs look great. The autofocus is fast and generally quite smart about what to focus on and if you take a second to half press the shutter button and check what it is focusing on you can always correct by using the touch screen to redirect it to focusing on another part of the picture. It has practically all the features you might need even as an expert, just they are in menus on the touch screen rather than on buttons all over the camera. Did I mention it takes great pictures? It basically has the same picture processor and sensor as camera twice its price. It makes noiseless or nearly noiseless photos up to ISO 3200 and 6400. It's exposure metering is usually spot on but if you find it's not you can change metering mode or just go manual or semi manual. And it is small. So small. Barely larger than most compact cameras, though with a lens on it'll be larger, but still with the size category of point and shoot cameras. And ef-m lens are generally small and light. But for versatility you can get a adapter to attach the larger and often quite innexpensive, good quality or very high end canon dslr lens, all to this tiny camera. Would I recommend it? For sure. Even experts will love how small and light it is, and yet have the ability to use their collections of lens with it and still be able to take great photos quickly.

Muy buena cámara, superó mis espectativas. El servicio y atención del proveedor (MAKACEL) es excelente.

Have just used it for stills so far. And really really happy with it. Kit lens is sharp. I got cheap chinese secondary lens which has greatly helped with my creativity. It's an awesome little camera. Heck I can even fit it in amazonbasics pouch meant for p&s digicams. For beginners, I would highly recommend.

Chegou super rápido! Em dois dias de BH-SC. Veio tudo perfeito e o preço super ok comparado a outras lojas! Recomendo.
