Interchangeable lens shooters like the Sony A9 are evidence that mirrorless camera can not only compete at the high floor of photography , but they ’re believably also the eventual replacement to DSLRs . So you ’d take over that a society like Canon would have made potent inroads into the mirrorless grocery store by now , but with camera like the new EOS M100 , the company is still treating the mirrorless market as an afterthought , not the futurity .
pack a 24.2 - megapixel APS - C CMOS sensor that feeds Canon ’s DIGIC 7 C.P.U. , the M100 sport exchangeable specs to Sony ’s comparatively - price a5000 and a6000 serial of interchangeable lens photographic camera . But with a $ 600 price tag for the EOS M100 outfit that includes a 15 - 45 mm , f/3.5 - 6.3 stabilized lens system ( or $ 950 for a kit with 15 - 45 mm and a 55 - 200 mm stabilized lenses ) Canon has n’t included much else to sway consumers away from its competitors ’ mirrorless offerings .
The EOS M100 tops out at 6.1 - physique per 2d uninterrupted shooting , with an ISO reach of 100 to 25,600 , which are both specs comparable to the Sony a6000 ’s capabilities . But the a6000 is a photographic camera that was herald back in former 2014 . These are n’t eyeglasses you ’d expect to feel on a mirrorless camera announced in 2017 , particularly from a troupe that ’s already so behind in the mirrorless market . The M100 ’s biggest disappointment , however , are its video capabilities , or miss thereof . 4 K ? Nope . 2 K ? Sorry , this mirrorless torpedo can only come up 1080P at 60 bod per second .
So who is this camera for ? With a three - in LCD touchscreen that rotates 180 - grade for snapping selfies , a simplified user port , and Bluetooth , wi - fi , and NFC wireless functionality for link and transferring images to an accompanying smartphone app , Canon is positioning the EOS M100 as “ … an excellent choice for those looking to step up from smartphone picture taking … ” But smartphones have gotten really heavy at photography , particularly selfies , and most can well come up 4 K telecasting recording . Being able-bodied to occasionally swap in a telephoto lens just does n’t make up for the M100 ’s circumscribed capabilities and neutered functionality .
Nikon and Canon both remain the most placeable trade name in the DSLR food market , and both have released some genuinely spectacular cameras embraced by professional photographer around the populace . But it ’s clear that neither company wants to put out an equally fantastic mirrorless triggerman that might jeopardize their DSLR sale . So it seems that instead it ’s going to let company like Sony and Olympus continue to improve and innovate in that field until no one require a DSLR anymore , and no one remembers who Nikon or Canon were .
