The camera was announced in Feb 2017 so it's been out for almost two years.

It's being sold for 460 (euro) and I am considering buying it (I'd try to sell the M10 + 15-45 mm).

Your thoughts?

Hey,

In general you should consider with are your limiting factors / your constraints:

I think, if you would like to get some with

  • a small form factor (size, weight, etc.)
  • a resonable Price

for the purpose of

  • hobby photography

the Canon EOS M System is a good start.

I personally own a Canon EOS M6 and M3 (for conversion to full-spectrum). In my opinion, the Canon EOS M6 has a quite good build quality. It's for sure superior to M100. It has a grip, mic Input, a faster Display (instead of 30fps of the M100) has for sure more dials, which makes the handling easier.

It is comparable to the Canon EOS M5, but without EVF. It lacks the ability to produce 4k and maybe the low light capability (couldn't test it)!

So the first big questions are: For what purposes do you need it? What is your budget? What do you Need in a camera?
