Canon EOS M200
Price: Price: £499 / $549 with 15-45mm lens
Canon’s entry-level mirrorless camera gets a
processing boost and 4K video capability. We
tried it for size as a go-everywhere solution
The M200 is Canon’s smallest, most
affordable mirrorless camera. As
such, it doesn’t have a very extensive
set of features, but the fact it has a 24.1MP
APS-C format Dual
Pixel CMOS sensor to
enable phase detection
autofocussing, plus
Canon’s DIGIC 8
processing engine and
the ability to record
4K video, makes it an
attractive proposition.
It’s also designed to be
easy to use, which makes it a good choice for
beginners, but it could also be a nice choice
for more experienced photographers who
want a small camera to take anywhere.Canon has kept the sensitivity range of the
M200 the same as the M100 that it replaces.
This is ISO 100-25600 (expandable to ISO
51200) for stills. We’d aim to limit the stills
setting to ISO 6400,
although the results at
ISO 12800 are usable.
Push beyond that and
the results in JPEGs
look too smooth in
places, while the RAW
files are noisy.
Despite having
almost exactly
the same pixel count and an updated
processing engine, the M200 also has the
same maximum continuous shooting rate
as the M100. However, 4fps with continuousIt’s designed to be
easy to use, which
makes it a good
choice for beginners
