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.
Street, Travel & Compact Everyday Shooting — X100T (2014): A polished step between X100S and X100F — the electronic rangefinder OVF mode was unique, and 16MP X-Trans delivers beautiful files at an accessible used price.
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
X100T (2014)
- X100 series enthusiasts who want the rangefinder-era X100 experience at the lowest price
- Street photographers who value the unique hybrid OVF with electronic rangefinder overlay
- Travel photographers who want a compact fixed-lens APS-C camera on a tight budget
- Those drawn to the classic X100 design before the X100F's resolution and joystick upgrade
