Canon Announces Eye-Detecting Autofocus EOS M200 Camera With 4K Video Recording
Available in black and white this October.
Canon has updated its incredibly popular EOS M100 with the release of the 4K video-equipped M200. The new pocket-sized camera packs a host of future-forward tech advancements, such as eye-detecting autofocus, an updated Digic 8 processor and selectable AF points of 123 marks.
This entry-level camera comes equipped with a 24.1-megapixel sensor and a selfie-friendly flip-up screen. Video recording is compressed to a 1.6 times APS-C crop, meaning the 15-45mm kit lens will begin to perform as a 38-115mm lens when recording in 4K mode, reducing the quality and functionality of its vlogging capabilities.
The M200 is pitched at beginners thanks to its all-new eye-detection. It can shoot vertical video and the camera features a sparse amount of buttons, instead focusing on touchscreen control. The Canon EOS M200 will be available in October for $549 USD in both black and white.
