LCD and Viewfinder
Canon M10 has a Tilting 3" LCD screen with a resolution of 1,040k dots. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.
LCD is
Touch screen type, so you can change the settings and set the focus point with your fingertips. For those of you who loves shooting self portraits or group photos, Canon M10 will make your life easier with its
Selfie friendly screen.
M10 doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Mirrorless camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Sony Alpha A7 (Compare) or Sony Alpha a6400 (Compare). If the price is not an issue, take a look at our Top Rated Cameras with Viewfinders.

4.6 fps and has max shutter speed of
1/4000 sec.
Flash
Unfortunately M10 doesn't have an external flash shoe so you are limited with the built-in flash.
Focusing

Face detection AF where it intelligently detects the faces in the frame and locks the focus automatically.

It has a Mono speaker but no built-in microphone.
Canon M10 doesn't have any connections for external microphones and headphones. If you need a Mirrorless camera with external microphone connectivity, consider Sony Alpha A7 or Sony Alpha a6400 in a similar price range.
Connectivity and Storage
Canon M10 features
built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11b/g/n with NFC) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. With its
NFC feature, M10 can communicate with devices such as smartphones which are also equipped with this technology by simply touching each other.One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our M10. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.
You can connect M10 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.
Battery
Canon M10 is powered by battery which provides a shooting life of 255 according to CIPA standards.
Considering that the average battery life of Mirrorless type cameras is 363 shots, Canon M10 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend M10 owners to buy some extra batteries.
