Canon M100 vs Panasonic G10

Here, we are matching up the Canon M100 versus Panasonic G10, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Canon and Panasonic. There exists a substantial gap between the sensor resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and G10 (12MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and G10 (Four Thirds) offer different sensor measurements.

The M100 was introduced 7 years later than the G10 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon M100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the M100 grades versus the G10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M100 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The whole galleries are available at Canon M100 Gallery & Panasonic G10 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera often, you will need to take into account its weight and volume. The Canon M100 offers outer measurements of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") along with a weight of 302 grams (0.67 lbs) and the Panasonic G10 has sizing of 124mm x 90mm x 74mm (4.9" x 3.5" x 2.9") having a weight of 388 grams (0.86 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have chosen during that time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the M100 vs the G10.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M100 and G10 is 88 and 72 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading technical specs. The photograph below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M100 and G10.

As you can tell, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M100 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon M100 will offer greater detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The fresher M100 should have an edge in sensor technology.
