EOS M100vs X-S10
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.
Dslr Switchers, Travel & Vlogging — X-S10 (2020): The X-S10 brought IBIS and a fully articulating screen to Fujifilm's mid-range — a compelling DSLR replacement at a price that made Fujifilm accessible to a new audience.
