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 + Samyang f/1.8 + 28-60mm is the way to go

M = dead end

RF full frame = closed mount

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

Honestly, I really don't understand why the question "which EOS M camera for me?" is answered by "Sony A7C ..... is the way to go" (?).

Do you reply in the Sony FF forum, that "Canon EOS M is the way to go"?

Getting RP or R is considerably less expensive than getting A7c.

Geeeeez !!!

Is it really so hard to understand that this is the EOS M Talk forum ???

(Or that OP's question is about M cameras ?)

relax on playing the heavy, lots of talk about m being on the ropes, and Canon shooting itself in the foot with lockouts, no worries about other suggestions, including sony, fuji and canon RF and RF-s, some of us learn from diverse opinions from keg and storm who offer great insight because they've had their feet on the other side and their knowledge
