Canon 70D vs Canon M100

Below, we are reviewing the Canon 70D vs Canon M100, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both of them are manufactured by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 70D (20MP) and the M100 (24MP) is fairly close and they come with the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

The 70D was released 4 years prior to the M100 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 70D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon M100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going through a thorough comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the 70D scores versus the M100 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 70D and Canon EOS M100. The complete galleries are available at Canon 70D Gallery and Canon M100 Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera, you're going to have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Canon 70D comes with outside measurements of 139mm x 104mm x 79mm (5.5" x 4.1" x 3.1") along with a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs) and the Canon M100 has measurements of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 302 grams (0.67 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with during that time. Below is the front view proportions comparison of the 70D vs the M100.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 70D and M100 is 59 and 88 respectively.

Quite often, its hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 70D and M100.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon M100 to result in greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 70D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
