Canon 1D MIV vs Canon M100

Let's look more in depth at the Canon 1D MIV and Canon M100, former is a Pro DSLR while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and they are both produced by Canon.

The 1D MIV was introduced 8 years prior to the M100 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Canon 1D MIV being a Large SLR camera and the Canon M100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight to a complete comparison, here is a concise overview of how the 1D MIV matches up vs the M100 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS-1D Mark IV & Canon EOS M100. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 1D MIV Gallery & Canon M100 Gallery.

If you are going to carry around your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and proportions.

Quite often, its hard to see the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The pic here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D MIV and M100.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 1D MIV having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon M100 will render extra detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged 1D MIV will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
