EOS M100vs A6700
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.
All-Round & Video — A6700 (2023): Best-in-class autofocus and 4K/120p video in a compact APS-C body — the standout camera under £1,000.
