EOS M10vs EOS M100
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Casual & Everyday — EOS M10 (2015): The EOS M10 is Canon's most basic EF-M mirrorless — small, stylish, and approachable, with 18MP and a tilting touchscreen. It lacks the specs of newer EF-M bodies but delivers solid results for everyday shooting and represents an affordable entry into the Canon mirrorless ecosystem.
Casual & Everyday — EOS M100 (2017): The EOS M100 is Canon's most stripped-back EF-M camera — small, simple, and focused on making great photos easy. Dual Pixel AF, 24MP, and a tilting touchscreen are its strengths; no EVF, no IBIS, and no 4K are its compromises. A solid, affordable first mirrorless for casual photographers who want more than a smartphone.
