M100 vs M200:

M200 advantages:

The AF is much better on the M200.

  1. It has Dual Pixel eye-detect autofocus
  2. It has 2 EV better working range: EV -4 - 18 (f/1.4). M100 has -1 - 18 (f/2.0).
  3. It has Spot AF
  4. M200 has up to 143 AF points. M100 has 49

The M200 has a Digic 8 prosessor. M100 has Digic 7. (Overall the M200 feels much snappier.)

It can shoot in C-RAW format.

It has "Ambience Priority" and "White Priority" options in the AWB settings.

Digital Lens Optimizer is added to the "Lens aberration correction" in the menu.

Battery life of approx. 315 shots (vs. 295)

It can shoot vertical video.

It can shoot 4K, 24p video (1.6x crop)

M100 advantages:

Sensor cleaning and wifi button.

I wish my M200 had the wifi button just so I could have another button to customize.

I don't understand why they would remove the sensor cleaning function. Does it add that much to the cost!?

Canon gives and Canon takes. I bet they made the M200 "too good" so they had an internal poll on what feature to remove. And this time the sensor cleaning option won. (With the M6 Mark II the "Remove the EFCS" option won the poll.) Or maybe they just spin a wheel of fortune.

it sucks when they dumb down

A7C +

old clunky menu system

Samyang f/1.8

yikes, manual focus

Huh??? B&H lists 16 different Samyang lenses for full frame Sony E mount that have autofocus. Five of those AF lenses have an aperture of f/1.8

touche

+ 28-60mm is the way to go

yikes - no 24, no 105, no constant f4

And what EF-M zoom covers 24mm equivalent, 105mm equivalent, and is constant f/4.0?

Storm wasn't talking about M, he was talking about compact FF (sony)

I was talking about compact FF (Canon RP+ RF24-105 F4L) in response to Storm's switch to another system where op might render his existing glass mute

you made recommendations that were not considering:

1) op may be able to get 4 great lenses at great prices - you talk about delay which might be the wrong move

2) you talked about bodies but didn't consider what glass the op already has

M = dead end

a shame if so

RF full frame = closed mount

true

RF aps-c isn't dying as it's not alive yet (if ever), and it's still a closed mount

true
