GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Canon Mirrorless History & Ef-M Collectors — EOS M (2012): Canon's first mirrorless — a historic body that broke new ground with touch-AF and EF-M, but its sluggish contrast-detect system quickly became its Achilles heel.
Commercial, Studio & Landscape Photography — GFX 100 (2019): The world's first 100MP mirrorless with IBIS and phase-detect AF — the GFX 100 was a landmark in medium format, but its size and weight are professional-grade.
Who should buy what
EOS M (2012)
- Canon shooters who want the camera that started Canon's mirrorless story
- Budget first-time mirrorless buyers who already own EF/EF-S glass
- Collectors of significant digital camera milestones
GFX 100 (2019)
- Commercial and advertising photographers who need extraordinary resolution
- Landscape photographers willing to carry a large body for maximum detail
- GFX system users who want the original 100MP body at a lower cost than GFX 100S
- Studio photographers who want the finest image quality the GFX system can offer
Quick take: The gfx 100 has the highest resolution at 102mp; the eos m is the most affordable; only the gfx 100 is weather sealed. Scroll down for the full spec breakdown.
