10 / 10

Yes, even though its 1080p 60fps recording function can't go beyond 10 minutes, considering the price, it's quite sufficient. Moreover, there are numerous handy features which make it easy for beginners to use. The screen is also touchscreen, simplifying the operation for new users. Plus, its user interface is straightforward, not too complex.

Pros

• Max 1080 60fps
• Lightweight
• Easy to hold
• 180° flip screen useful for vlogging
• Internal flash

Cons

• No hotshoe
• No external mic

Optics

sensor size

APS-C

APS-C

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

Canon EF-MCanon EOS M100

Canon EF-MCanon EOS M3

The type of mount that connects the lens to the camera.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

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.
