Canon M100 vs Panasonic FZ150

Below, we are contrasting the Canon M100 and Panasonic FZ150, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Canon and Panasonic. There is a huge difference between the resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and FZ150 (12MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and FZ150 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor dimensions.

The M100 was revealed 5 years later than the FZ150 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon M100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic FZ150 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick view of how the M100 scores vs the FZ150 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150. The full galleries are provided at Canon M100 Gallery and Panasonic FZ150 Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera, you should factor its weight and proportions.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you use during that time. Following is the front view sizing comparison of the M100 compared to the FZ150.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the M100 and FZ150 is 88 and 67 respectively.

Usually, it is tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The visual below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M100 and FZ150.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M100 having a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M100 will resolve more detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer M100 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
