An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.has a built-in focus motor✖Canon EOS M100

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.Has a flip-out screen✔Canon EOS M100✔Canon EOS M3Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.viewfinder coverage∅

With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.screen size

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.lens mount

focus points

49

49

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.megapixels (main camera)

24.2 MP

24 MP

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.maximum ISO

25600 ISO

12800 ISO

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.maximum expanded ISO

25600 ISO

12800 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.has sensor shift stabilization✖Canon EOS M100

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.continuous shooting (mechanical)

6.1 fps

4.2 fps

The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.has AF tracking✔Canon EOS M100✔Canon EOS M3With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it.

1080 x 30 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.Has phase-detection autofocus for videos✔Canon EOS M100

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.has continuous autofocus when recording movies✔Canon EOS M100✔Canon EOS M3When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.has a microphone input✖Canon EOS M100✔Canon EOS M3A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack✖Canon EOS M100✔Canon EOS M3With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.has a stereo microphone✔Canon EOS M100✔Canon EOS M3A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.Has timelapse function✔Canon EOS M100

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.movie bitrate

24 Mbps

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.number of microphones

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.Has dual card slots✖Canon EOS M100

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.has pixel shift shot∅

Canon EOS M100: Not applicable

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.shoots raw✔Canon EOS M100✔Canon EOS M3A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.supports lossless compressed raw✖Canon EOS M100

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M3)

It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.Wi-Fi version

pixel density

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS M100)

500 ppi

Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
