The M100 was manufactured 3 years earlier than the G100 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Canon M100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving through a full comparison, below is a concise summary of how the M100 grades against the G100 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

More often than not, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M100 and G100.

As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M100 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon M100 will offer more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older M100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
