The 1100D was unveiled 7 years earlier than the M100 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 1100D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon M100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the 1100D matches up against the M100 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 1100D and M100.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should expect the Canon M100 to give more detail having an extra 12MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older 1100D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
