DPReview reviews the Canon M100

The dimunitive M100 gets a gold reward from DPReview based upon it's small, light and user friendly experience.

While certainly this camera is not on every enthusiasts list, if you use it as Canon has clearly intended the camera, as a full automatic smartphone upgrade, then it's alot of fun to use.

DPreview's conclusion:

For beginners, it's a no-brainer. It's one of the easiest-to-use cameras this reviewer has photographed with. The M100 won't set the world on fire with its spec sheet, but that's less important at this budget end of the market. It will simply take great pictures under a wide variety of scenarios, and places very few demands on the user while doing so. It's a camera that you just want to pick up and take with you to document your daily life.

And it's because the M100 is such an enjoyable camera to use at a competitive price, that it encourages you to bring it with you rather than letting it languish on a shelf, and that it makes taking pictures genuinely fun, it earns our highest award.
