Re: Which EOS M camera for me?

The m100/m200 models definitely have the edge on compactness. With either it will help if you are very comfortable taking pictures with a smartphone because you will have to learn  and use the screen controls.  There's a dearth of buttons, wheels and such. I have an m100 and can't deny it's easy to carry and capable of high image quality.

However, I'm not that big a fan of operating off the LCD. I also long for a really good printed camera manual, especially because the m100 has its own controls and ergonomics.  On-screen help and prompts are provided. As I said, I wish a good printed manual was provided. A printed manual can be ordered from third-party vendors, but they're printouts of the in-camera help system, provided by Canon as a .pdf file. So, no handy index, and the printout is tedious and annoying to use.

If any of that puts you off, you might consider an M50 or M50 MkII, or M6 Mk.II. They're not that much bigger and would fit easily in a small shoulder bag with a lens or two.
