Canon M100 vs Canon M200: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon M100 and Canon M200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M100 has external dimensions of 108 x 67 x 35 mm (4.25 x 2.64 x 1.38″) and weighs 302 g (0.67 lb / 10.65 oz) (including batteries). Canon M200 has external dimensions of 108 x 67 x 35 mm (4.25 x 2.64 x 1.38″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M100 and the Canon M200. In this case, we can see that Canon M100 and Canon M200 have the exact same height, width and thickness.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M100 and Canon M200.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon M200 is 3g lighter than the Canon M100 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 also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon M100 and Canon M200 have the same Canon EF-M lens mount and APS-C sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.

Weather Sealing

Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS M100 nor Canon EOS M200 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections:

LCD Screen Size and Features

Canon M100 and Canon M200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Both cameras feature Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.


Canon M100 vs Canon M200: Sensor Comparison

Both Canon M100 and Canon M200 have APS-C sized 24.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.

Below you can see the M100 and M200 sensor size comparison.

Canon M100 and Canon M200 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.

Which camera has more lenses?

The number of available lenses is a big deciding factor when choosing your interchangeable lens camera. Canon M100 and Canon M200 have the same Canon EF-M lens mount and currently there are 29 native lenses available for these cameras.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 6 lenses with Image stabilization for Canon EF-M mount.
