About this model
The Canon EOS M100 is a small, lightweight mirrorless camera aimed at beginners and everyday shooting. Its 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor is far larger than a phone or compact camera sensor, giving cleaner low-light images and easier background blur. Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF focuses quickly and smoothly, and the 3-inch touchscreen tilts up for selfies and low-angle shots. Controls are simple and touch-driven, with a guided interface for new users. This kit includes the EF-M 15-45mm zoom, a compact everyday lens covering wide-angle to short telephoto. It is a good choice if you want DSLR-quality images in a bag-friendly body.
