EOS M100vs X-H2
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
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.
High-Res Stills & Landscape — X-H2 (2022): Fujifilm's highest-resolution X-mount body — 40MP, 8K video, weather sealing, and 7-stop IBIS for serious photographers.
