Canon M100 vs Sony A7c

Here is a in-depth review of the Canon M100 vs Sony A7c, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Sony. The resolution of the M100 (24MP) and the A7c (24MP) is pretty similar but the M100 (APS-C) and A7c (Full frame) use totally different sensor dimensions.

The M100 was released 4 years prior to the A7c and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a in-depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the M100 scores versus the A7c for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Typically, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing only by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M100 and A7c.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizing. The M100 offers the tinier sensor which should make getting shallower DOF more challenging. The older M100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
