Am a Sony user, but the M100 looks nice. If you are new, or a Canon user, this would be a nice camera to use. Thanks for the review.

[@zoieg6831]

I have this camera and I use it for photography. It’s my first real-deal canon camera and if I’m being honest it’s a great beginner camera. It’s so simple to use and the size makes it even better. Also there’s an app you can use to download your photos to your phone because it’s a WiFi camera. From the app you can also control the camera and take photos from your phone. Say you’re taking a family photo, you can flip up the touch screen and connect your phone and see everything happening right on your phone and take the photo right there! I love this camera and being a beginner I haven’t had any issues with it at all.

[@udoderunformige1250]

I think the 10 minutes limit of video recording is just a minor drawback if you use it mostly for recording b-roll or if you get used to it. Anyway, an interesting competitor to the a5100. And I'm sure the photo quality is really good as well. Most modern cameras nowadays are quite good at that, even entry-level ones.

Yay a review based on a comment myself and another viewer made on one of your sony reviews. I love my M100 it's so portable. Thought of the M6 but my M50 is already my upper class model. Great review.

[@dhilsiva]

Ah finally! I've found someone who has both an M50 and an M100. What do you use each one for? I'm planning to get either an M50 or both of them. I think you could help me.

[@RyanEasby]

Excellent review! I'm in the market for a good multi purpose budget friendly camera to get additional footage besides just drone shots. But also replace the family point and shoot. This may fit the bill. Thanks!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Absolutely! I’m glad it was able to help! 😁👍

[@teamtinyrelaxation6949]

The audio, I thought, was better then expected during your test...... now sl2 or m100.... maybe the best channel on KZbin will help me decide.. I'll watch your sl2 video again.... great job as always my man

[@TheEverydayDad]

Remember the inside audio was recorded with a recorder 👍 but both are awesome cameras.

[@udoderunformige1250]

I think it depends if you prefer a dslr body or a dslm one. The SL2 is the lightest dslr I'm aware of, the body weights just about the same as an Sony a6300. That's not common for dslrs.

[@chrisdavid735]

You do have a grip for the M100. The (face jacket) it comes in different colors, and in leather or plastic if it came with the camera it would only be black with no style options.

[@GamiumGamers]

The “VLOGGING TEST” was nauseating. The stabilization of the m100 is bad.

[@gangyyy5604]

he probably didnt eneable the stabiliztion on it. theres three options for it

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah I agree he probably didn’t know there was stabilization options 😳

[@rjkral]

Gamium Gamers agreed, I was super interested then that walking footage was a huge NO! Hopefully it was disabled otherwise that was unusable

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

Dad, that's weird, me calling you Dad. Just a few minutes ago I ordered the Canon M100, why? I already have a good number of lenses for my Canon T6s, with an adapter I can use them on the M100. Having used the T6s for more than a year I am use to Canon's menu system, which I like. I shoot in M all the time, the M100 works the way I am use to working. I wanted a small camera that I can keep in my work truck all the time for taking video and photos. I wanted the flip up screen rather than the flip out screen. Touch screen was essential. I too sync audio in post, no big deal. 4K is foolishness. I do tend to shoot longer videos but I can set a timer, have a smoke, then restart the video. I wish it would shoot 20 minutes, well one has to make compromises. Thanks Dad. By the way, I paid $399.99 at Amazon.

[@TheEverydayDad]

My names Gary, or most people call me TEDD 👍 And yeah the m100 is packed with crazy value for the price, it’s only got one real weakness (audio in) but that’s not the end of the world 👍

[@joedeleon1901]

Great stuff. Audio from the cannon m50 vs m100 vs sony 5100, would be so fascinating.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Well good news! Wednesday’s video is the a5100 vs the m100 👍

[@keeqp78]

Bought the Canon M 100 after watching your review . It is good for travelling !

[@KevAlberta]

All my KZbin travel videos are filmed with this camera. It’s great because it’s small and light and takes very clear video and photos

[@snovimgodom2009]

@@KevAlberta it has same specs as SL2 but video files are twice smaller autofocus is very slow

[@RaprapDy]

Kev it is really used for 10mins only for videos?

[@jeffmurnahan]

2 questions: 1. Do you think the m100 will be better than the upcoming iphone for video? 2. If they take away the charging port, do you know of any good mics that connect via bluetooth like airpods do? Preferably something that has a mic jack you can hook other mics too

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

I kinda like my M100 and the camera audio is semi-decent. I find the autofocus is a little finicky; either it won't focus on what I tap on or it will focus on something completely different. And but touchscreen is so sensitive at times, it takes pictures from the touch of my shirt hitting the screen. I've done a couple videos with my M100, j'm still relatively satisfied with it considering g the cost.

[@leecason9468]

If they added 4k through magic lantern, it would be a lumix g7 killer

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah that would be awesome! But I’d be skeptical that the heat management system could last very long. If it has problems recording 1080p 60 for more then 10 minutes I’m not sure how long it could do 4K 🤷‍♂️

It always puts a smile on my face! 😊👏👍 Got a Canon EOS M myself, thinking of upgrading to the Canon EOS M50 so that I can keep my lenses and adaptor for the EOS M. It will be a great combo with my Canon G7X II and DJI Mavic Air. I really like small but good gear on the go. I'm old too (48) and also got to think about my back! 😁😂 Watching your videos about the M50 and the Mavic Air certainly helped me in the decision to want to buy them.👍 One question. Is it the Zhiyun Crane M or Crane 2 in the background? I've got a Zhiyun Crane M. Such a great accessory to mirrorless cameras and compact cameras like the GX7 II!

[@RanjithCoplay]

Please make another video talking about image quality with the kit lens and a few other lenses

[@PhilChandlerArts]

The lack of the audio-in jack is a deal breaker for me. I don't want to spend time syncing audio in post. (I wish you had used the camera's built-in audio inside so I could hear the quality) I do like the other features, but for what I'm looking for, an audio-in jack is one of my top features. This comes really close (and it is impressive) but no cigar.

[@Empowerthesaints]

Dreaming of the A5100 replacement with a flippy out screen and a mic input jack. I still think the M50 is one of the best cheaper camera's for video/Vlogging. I've enjoyed your videos. I have considered the G7, but I would have to use it manual focus all the time, which could be annoying. I do a ton of run and gun, so second recording device is really not an option at this time, though tempting with the price of the A5100. Sony has the chance to win over a massive majority of people if they gave a 4k Flip screen APSC camera.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Awesome video dude. Very nice. Does the 10 minutes limit only apply to 60fps? If you drop to 30fps can you record for longer?

[@TrulyHaja]

29 minutes and 59 seconds for 30fp

[@suprina141414]

Thank you!! I was looking at this bc its almost black Friday and the price dropped to $400 CAD with the strap and bag and all that good stuff, I thought it was a great price but wanted to know if it was good enough for starting youtube videos! thanks for clearing that up, the 10 min video thingy might get annoying but ill live with it. Thank you so much!

I'm right now between choosing M100, Sony a6000 and Lumix Gx80. Which one is the best for stills in low light?

[@MrNYCman530]

I wish Canon would make more pancake lenses for their APSC mirrorless line. The one available is too wide for portraits, I think it's 22mm. I wish the Canon 40mm f2.8 pancake lens was compatible with it, but I'd have to get an adapter for it and it would make it too bulky for a pocket.

[@agro0]

The m100 is awesome. It has the same sensor as the 80D and isn't much bigger than a 1 inch compact camera with the 22mm f2 on. I always take it with me for casual shooting or travel trips if I don't want to carry my big 5D with me.

Great video.What is your opinion about using it for photography?I am a beginner who wants to take very good quality photos and currently looking for a camera

[@snovimgodom2009]

M100 has same specs as SL2 But video files are twice smaller Video quality is very poor Autofocus is very slow and unreliable You may find at home that video is out of focus Max ISO for video is 6400 terrible noise in low light Do not recommend to buy Dad is joke?

[@iamkzonjames]

Does it share the same lens as the m50? Bought a kit lens for m50 and would like to try the m100.

[@Liowen]

Honest question: Does anyone use the HDMI out on a camera with a flip screen? I understand them on action cameras for FPV drone flying but I highly doubt anyone would hook a mirrorless to their drone and fly with it, and as a "front facing monitor" is also pointless as the screen is already forward facing. I feel that port would be best suited to be changed for a 3.5mm mic jack that would be a great benefit to the camera, granted the audio from the camera is not bad but could be improved with the audio in. If a camera needs an external monitor then it should have a flip screen (either up or out) rather than needing to lug a screen, cable, battery pack, extra mounts, external audio device, and mic in order to get decent video and audio.

[@TheEverydayDad]

I use the HDMI out on my GH5 all the time. I prefer using a monitor over the flip screen mainly when I'm farther away.

[@super_boy6665]

Great review. Can it blur backgrounds on video and still pictures? I hope you see this question. I am a new KZbinr on a limited budget looking for a camera that can blur backgrounds. Thanks.

[@MoViesDProductions]

That mostly depends on the lens. The lower the minimum F-stop, the larger you can set the aperture and the shallower your depth of field will be. Basically, shallow depth of field translates to a blurry background. The 15-55 kit lens that comes with the M100 goes down to F3.5, which isn't too bad. Depending on just how blurry you want the background to be, you could also look at lenses like the 22mm EF-M pancake lens, which goes all the way down to F2.0. A lower number means a larger aperture.

Hi from Portugal! Which ones do you think that are better, canon m3 or canon m100, thank you! Next

[@kiwipics]

The M100, as the M3 has a much less advanced and very slow auto focus. The only downside of the M100 is that there isn't a hotshoe. The is also the M10 (£295 new in the UK) which sits between the M100 and M3, or the M5 is now available cheaply secondhand on ebay. The M100 can also be found for £599 in the UK, and that is as a kit with the EF-M 15-45mm and the EF-F M 55-200 .... a real bargain. I have the M10, and use EF-M, EFs, EF and vintage lenses with it ..... I love it, but would buy an M50 or M5 if I had some spare money.
