Canon 100D vs Fujifilm X-T100 Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Canon 100D, which was introduced in July 2013 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 18.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Fujifilm X-T100, which was introduced in May 2018 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor.

Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.

Let's have a brief look at the main features of Canon 100D and Fujifilm X-T100 before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Canon 100D vs Fujifilm X-T100 Detailed Size Comparison

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon 100D is 41g lighter than the Fujifilm X-T100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon 100D and Fujifilm X-T100 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.

Canon 100D vs Fujifilm X-T100: Sensor Comparison

Canon 100D has a 18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T100 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .

Fujifilm X-T100's sensor provides 6MP more than Canon 100D's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

Below you can see the 100D and X-T100 sensor size comparison.

Canon 100D vs Fujifilm X-T100 Sensor Size Comparison


As seen above, Fujifilm X-T100 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon 100D. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
