Simply incredible, incredibly simple: professional-looking photos are effortless with the Canon EOS M200

SYDNEY, Australia – 13th February 2020: Canon Australia announces today the highly anticipated successor to the hugely popular EOS M100—the Canon EOS M200, is coming to Australia. Upgrades to this mirrorless camera include the latest Canon DIGIC 8 processor, improved autofocus (AF) and the addition of 4K movie. Complete with a guided user interface, boundless creative functions and vertical movie shooting, it has never been easier to step up from a smartphone and start sharing stand-out images and video with the world.

Capture sharp and striking images effortlessly
Superior storytelling is made effortless with the Canon EOS M200. Its guided user interface is perfect for first-time camera shooters, with useful on-screen guidance as well as hints and tips on how to get the best results. The camera’s large APS-C sized 24.1 megapixel sensor produces highly detailed images that look sharp and striking, even when cropped or enlarged for sharing on social media

The camera features Canon-developed Dual Pixel CMOS AF that delivers professional-looking movies and images, by keeping moving subjects in sharp focus with a pleasing background blur. This feature is perfect for capturing pin-sharp memories at a party, festival, or concert with low-light AF sensitivity down to EV-4. The addition of Eye Detection AF also makes capturing the natural expressions of friends and family simple, by automatically maintaining focus on a subject’s eyes.

The introduction of Canon’s latest processor, DIG!C 8, delivers new functionality as well as great quality. With a maximum ISO speed of 100-25600 (extending to ISO 51200 equivalent), DIG!C 8 guards against image blur and reduces image noise when shooting in darker locations, such as a bar or music venue.

DIG!C 8 also adds a new dimension to storytelling, powering 4K movie for the highest level of movie clarity. The Canon EOS M200 takes the storytelling potential one step further with a 4K time-lapse feature and the ability to take 4K stills from 4K movies, perfect for capturing memories in detail.

The LCD touchscreen on the Canon EOS M200 flips 180 degrees, which, when paired with Canon’s M-Series of lenses, helps elevate selfies beyond what is achievable with a smartphone. The camera’s Self Portrait mode also allows settings such as background blur and brightness to be easily adjusted in real time. A first on an EOS camera, the movie record button is displayed on the touchscreen when in Movie Mode, ideally positioned for easy operation when recording a vlog with the screen tilted 180 degrees. Movies can even be recorded and played back on mobile in a vertical orientation, so they are optimised for sharing on social media after they are captured.

Unlock your creativity
The Canon EOS M200 features an array of settings and tools empowering those stepping up from a smartphone to capture memories in artistic and imaginative ways. It includes Canon’s Creative Assist feature, a suite of effects, filters and colour adjustment tools to apply to photographs when composing an image or after it has been taken. It is also possible to add effects to the photos taken, just like a photo app, with a range of creative filters including Grainy black & white, Fish-eye, and Soft Focus.

Compatibility with the affordable and creative range of EF-M lenses expands the potential of the Canon EOS M200 even further.
