This camera is recommended if you like to take pictures with your mobile phone and want to go a step higher. But even if you already have a good camera and would like a more compact model for trips, this is a great option. The device is user-friendly and Canon offers a lot of support. The photo quality is good, the photos are sharp and clear. The colors come out well and the sharpness/depth ratio is also excellent.
For the real beginner, the Auto mode is a good start. You don't have to set anything yourself, the device selects the correct settings per object. You can also choose from different modes, for taking, for example, landscape photos, photos up close or portraits. The close-up photos are very sharp, but the landscape photos are also clear and sharp. You can quickly and easily switch between the modes via the handy touchscreen. In addition, you can set all kinds of settings yourself, the camera offers numerous options. It is also possible to take photos in RAW, making them easy to edit. Very nice!
Another plus of this camera is the WI-FI function. There is a special button on the device for this, so that you can quickly connect to the app on your phone. Making a connection is hassle-free and I also quickly see an overview of all the photos I've taken on my phone screen. You do need a strong WiFi signal, otherwise it will not load the photos. The signal is often broken for me. Sharing photos on social media is also a piece of cake, very nice if you want to share your best moments quickly and without much effort. In addition, Canon offers two other apps: the Canon Irista for storing your photos in a cloud and the Canon Companion for support (short manual, exercises, tutorials, etc.). The service that Canon offers with these apps is really top notch. All three are very handy and I use them all very regularly.
You can view the photos you have taken with the push of a button and zoom in using the touch screen. If you don't like a photo, it can be removed in no time.
I am not a vlogger myself, but I have tested making videos and also understood from others that this camera is also well suited for this. Videos are clear and the sound is clear.
In general, this is a very nice camera. There are some criticisms, but these do not weigh – partly in view of the reasonable price – the advantages against the advantages. It is a pity that this camera does not have a viewfinder. However, this is not a huge disadvantage, I still manage just fine. The camera also sometimes takes pictures while walking, when the touchscreen comes into contact with your body/clothing. The battery does run out after a short afternoon of shooting, that's the only real drawback. In my case, he does not complete a day trip. It would not be a luxury if the battery life was longer. Charging takes about 2 hours and you cannot use the camera while charging (battery must be removed from the device). I usually miss the sunset after an afternoon of shooting. Working with the separate charger is handy if you have two batteries, then you always have a full one at hand.
All in all I really enjoy this Canon Eos M100. In particular, the photo quality, compactness, various options that the device offers, user-friendliness and support from Canon through the three apps make this a top device. Especially in view of the reasonable price and target group (entry level, for example as a stepping stone from your mobile phone), Canon has managed to exceed my expectations. It can do almost the same as an SLR, but is much nicer to carry around. For a (starting) hobby photographer, this device will be a good option.

I bought this camera to use for vlogs and making videos during my photo shoots. I shoot with a Canon 6D mark II, so I'm fairly picky about my purchases. I read a lot of good reviews about the M100 and I decided to buy this one. The camera is very compact and light and is super handy to use in combination with a Joby GorillaPod 1K kit. Fairly few buttons compared to my other camera, but the operation is smooth via the touchscreen.
After a first test shoot, I am pleasantly surprised about the photo quality. I didn't expect too much since I will mainly be using this camera for vlogging, but the quality of the photos should not be inferior to other (more expensive) cameras.
The video quality is exactly what I expected. Not 4K, but high-quality images in FHD. During the first day of filming, I received a total of 4 messages that the camera was overheated and needed to cool down before I could continue filming. I personally found this a big disadvantage, because I still want to be able to rely on this camera to take with me. Important to mention: I used this camera during the past heat wave, at temperatures of +30 degrees. In addition, the battery also drains extremely quickly. I tested it intensively for the first time at an event where I was there for 5 hours and had a total of about 1.5 hours of footage (60 GPS, FHD). After that the battery was completely empty.
Super fine camera, ideal as a vlog camera or compact camera for travel, for example, but you have to take the battery life into account. Besides these negatives, it is a fantastic camera and I enjoy working with it!

The device works very intuitively. You don't need to have knowledge of complicated (photographer) tricks to start taking photos right away. What I always find beautiful is when there is depth of field in a photo. If this is not included, many photos are flat. What immediately stands out is how well this goes with the EOS M100! And that for that price.
The colors seem very real and vibrant. The camera is wonderful to practice and experiment with. You can easily switch between the different modes, fully automatic or Creative Assist. A big plus is the tiltable screen so that you can easily take selfies. A very nice device!
