I’m looking for a smaller, Canon camera to carry around with me when I want to leave all my other Canon gear at home (own an SL1, 70d, 5d ii, and an R6), for stills only. No video. I think I’ve settled on the m100 or the m200. Is there a big difference between these 2? AF speed? Low light performance? I can purchase any of the following from a friend: the EFM 11-22, 22 & 32, and the Sigma 56 lenses. I was also looking at the M6ii but since I own other cameras that are slightly “larger,” I wanted to keep this as small as possible…

Thank you!

The lens selection sounds great (I own them all but a 32mm)!
I am especially fond of the Siggy 56mm for potraits and the 11-22mm for landscapes and interiors.
Owning M100 and M6II, I would prefer the M6II because:

  • Higher MP 32 vs. 24
  • optional EVF use, I really enjoy that I can attach and detauch to my liking and adapt to the situation.
  • AF and adjustable features are better, more sofisticated

That said, the slim M100/200 bodies stow away more compact.
Do realize that M200 has a slightly better AF, but is omitting sensor cleaning!
M100 still has it.
