Canon M100 vs Canon ELPH 340 HS

Following is a extended overview of the Canon M100 vs Canon ELPH 340 HS, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact and they are both built by Canon. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and ELPH 340 HS (16MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and ELPH 340 HS (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor measurements.

The M100 was announced 3 years after the ELPH 340 HS which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Canon M100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Canon ELPH 340 HS being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go through a complete comparison, below is a quick summary of how the M100 matches up against the ELPH 340 HS in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M100 and Canon PowerShot ELPH 340 HS. The whole galleries are available at Canon M100 Gallery and Canon ELPH 340 HS Gallery.

When you are planning to carry around your camera frequently, you'll have to consider its weight and volume.

Typically, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The image here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M100 and ELPH 340 HS.

Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M100 having a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Canon M100 will offer you extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more modern M100 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
