Read the General ComparisonGeneralThe Canon EOS M6 Mark II and the Fujifilm X-T100 are both 2019 mirrorless cameras built around APS-C sensors, and they commit you to different lens systems: Canon EF-M on one side, Fujifilm X on the other. Neither body has in-body stabilisation, so steady handheld shooting depends on the lens you attach to either mount. The Canon is the lighter and narrower body at 408 g and 120 x 70 x 49 mm, while the Fujifilm measures 121 x 83 x 47 mm and weighs 448 g. That 40 g gap and slimmer profile favour the Canon for a lightweight kit you carry every day. | ||

Read the Optics ComparisonOpticsThe EOS M6 Mark II is the stronger choice for action and heavy cropping. Its 33 MP sensor gives you more pixels to work with than the X-T100's 24 MP, and its 14 fps maximum burst far outpaces the Fujifilm's 6 fps when you are tracking a bird in flight or a sprinter on the far lane. The Canon also offers more autofocus points, 143 against 91, and a wider native ISO range of 100 to 25600, versus 200 to 12800 on the Fujifilm. Both share an electronic 2.36-million-dot viewfinder and a 1/4000 second maximum shutter, so bright-day exposure control is equally flexible. | ||

Read the Storage & battery ComparisonStorage and BatteryThe Fujifilm is the better choice for a long day of sightseeing without a charger. Its NP-W126s battery is rated for 440 shots under its test conditions, against 305 shots for the Canon's LP-E17. Both cameras take a single SD card and support USB charging, but the Canon's slot is UHS-II compatible, so it accepts faster cards for quicker write speeds during long bursts. The Fujifilm slot supports UHS-I. | ||

Read: Verdict
Verdict
Buy the Canon EOS M6 Mark II if you photograph moving subjects or like to crop tightly, because its 33 MP sensor, 14 fps burst and 143 autofocus points all serve that work. It is also the pick for slow-motion video and fast card offloads with a UHS-II card.
Choose the Fujifilm X-T100 if you value its longer 440-shot battery rating for a day of walk-around photography, or if the Fujifilm X lens range suits the pictures you want to make. For everything speed and resolution related, the Canon is the stronger tool.
