Canon 100D vs Canon M50

Below is a in-depth comparison of the Canon 100D versus Canon M50, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both are created by Canon. There is a sizeable difference between the sensor resolutions of the 100D (18MP) and M50 (24MP) but they possess the exact same sensor sizes (APS-C).

The 100D was unveiled 5 years prior to the M50 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Canon 100D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon M50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief view of how the 100D scores against the M50 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 100D and Canon EOS M50. The full galleries are available at Canon 100D Gallery and Canon M50 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon 100D features external dimensions of 117mm x 91mm x 69mm (4.6" x 3.6" x 2.7") along with a weight of 407 grams (0.90 lbs) while the Canon M50 has dimensions of 116mm x 88mm x 59mm (4.6" x 3.5" x 2.3") and a weight of 390 grams (0.86 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you select at that moment. Here is the front view overall size comparison of the 100D against the M50.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the 100D and M50 is 73 and 79 respectively.

Generally, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 100D and M50.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon M50 to offer you greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 100D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
