Here, we will be looking at the Canon M versus Panasonic G100, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Canon and Panasonic. The resolution of the M (18MP) and the G100 (20MP) is relatively similar but the M (APS-C) and G100 (Four Thirds) offer different sensor dimensions.

The M was introduced 9 years earlier than the G100 which is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a thorough comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the M scores against the G100 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M & Panasonic Lumix DC-G100. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon M Gallery & Panasonic G100 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry around your camera regularly, you will want to think about its weight and size.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Underneath is a front view overall size comparison of the M compared to the G100.

Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The pic underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M and G100.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh simpler and the Panasonic G100 will offer extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
