Read the General ComparisonGeneralThe Canon EOS M200 and the Fujifilm X-T100 are both APS-C mirrorless cameras released in 2019. The Canon is the more portable: it weighs 229 g against 448 g, and its 108 x 67 x 35 mm body is much slimmer than the X-T100's 121 x 83 x 47 mm, favouring a jacket pocket or small bag. If carrying the camera everywhere matters most, the M200 starts with a clear advantage. | ||

Read the Optics ComparisonOpticsThe Fujifilm X-T100 is the better choice for eye-level composition in bright daylight, because it offers a 2,360,000-dot electronic viewfinder while the Canon EOS M200 has none. On the M200 you frame every shot on the rear screen instead. The Canon holds the edge for focusing and exposure settings. Its 143 autofocus points outnumber the Fujifilm's 91, giving more positions to place over a subject, and its standard ISO range spans 100 to 25600 against 200 to 12800 before expanded settings. Resolution and sensor format match: both deliver 24 MP APS-C files, so pixel counts are the same. Both cap the shutter at 1/4000 second, skip in-body stabilisation and shoot around 6 fps. | ||

Read the Video ComparisonVideoFilmmakers get the same top-end options on both cameras: each records 4K, each offers frame rates up to 60 fps, and each includes a built-in timelapse mode for condensing a sunset or street scene. The difference for your editing workflow is file format. The X-T100 records in MOV as well as MPEG-4, which suits editors who prefer MOV clips, while the M200 records MPEG-4 only. | ||

Read the Features ComparisonFeaturesBoth screens suit selfies and vlogging: each camera has a 3-inch, 1,040,000-dot touchscreen that flips, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for quick phone transfers. For lighting, the X-T100 supports an external flash alongside its built-in unit, which opens up bounce and off-camera lighting for portraits, while the M200 offers its built-in flash alone. Neither camera has GPS for geotagging travel photos, and neither is weather sealed. | ||

Read the Storage & battery ComparisonStorage and BatteryThe X-T100 is the stronger camera for a full day of shooting, rated at 440 shots per charge against 315 for the M200, and it charges over USB from a power bank between locations. The M200's LP-E12 battery offers neither advantage. Both accept the same SD, SDHC and SDXC cards at UHS-I speed through a single slot, so cards transfer directly between the two. | ||

Verdict
Choose the Fujifilm X-T100 for travel and portrait work when you want an eye-level viewfinder, bounce lighting from an external flash, and a battery rated for 440 shots with USB top-ups on the road.
Choose the Canon EOS M200 if a 229 g body you can carry anywhere matters more. It also gives you 143 autofocus points to place over a subject and a standard ISO range that reaches 25600 against the Fujifilm's 12800. Both deliver 24 MP APS-C stills, 4K recording and flipping touchscreens, so the choice comes down to portability against the viewfinder, flash and battery.
