In my previous post, I was looking for a smaller canon camera when I didn’t want to lug around my other Canon gear (the m100/m200, m50ii, m6ii). I was wondering…
How do lenses like the 32mm or the Sigma 56 feel on the small m100/m200? Also, is it ideal using a touchscreen only with these lenses? For example, when I take portraits with larger lenses, I use a viewfinder. Pressing the viewfinder against your eye can stabilize the camera. How does a touchscreen only camera work with these lenses?
Thank you!
With anything from a 12mm f/2 to a 300mm f/4 I sit the lens balanced on my left hand (which controls manual focus and zoom) and work the touchscreen with my right. Av, touch shutter release and evaluative metering selects the focus point and the bias point for the exposure and works extremely fast. Touching the exposure compensation scale allows the control wheel to change exposure compensation, touching the ISO readout allows the ISO or auto ISO to be selected, pressing the Q button brings up the Quick menu on screen. It's different from a DSLR with dials for everything, but not necessarily worse, and a lot quicker, more versatile and easier than my phone camera controls.
I can confirm that it is no problem to use the M100 with lenses up to my 55-200mm.
Since my entry into digital cameras, I am operating via the LCD. I have never used any kind of OVF or EVF in digital times.
Even for portraits, especially with the 56mm, the using of the screen and holding the camera a little lower, is no problem.
To my mind, it is just a kind of "getting used to".
Thank you! And… how do you like the m100? I’m not sure if I should get the 100 or 200? I will be taking pictures of my family, kids… in addition to non-erratic moving subjects. lol
The M200 is the current model, introduced just over three years ago...
I've just turned down the chance of a cheap ex-display M200 because I change lenses a lot and would miss the self-cleaning sensor, but if I only had one M series camera I probably wouldn't have. That's why I haven't tried out the focussing of the M200.
