It offers more selectable AF points than the Nikon, but that has no real significance on its own, and Nikon is also using latest AF technology in the Z30. Nikon Z30: Hybrid AF, 209 points, Eye- and Animal-Detection AFĬanon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF has a reputation for accuracy, subject detection and subject tracking but, in order to keep costs down, Canon is not using its latest AF technology in the EOS R100, but the tech used by its previous generation of cameras.

Just because the maximum sensitivity is higher doesn’t guarantee on its own that the low light image quality is better, of course, but the EOS R100 does use Canon’s previous-generation sensor technology, so it seems fair to say the Nikon Z30 has an advantage in low light in purely technical terms, if not practical results too. This is where the Nikon Z30 sensor’s slightly lower resolution offers some payback, with a native ISO range two stops higher than the Canon’s. At the time of writing, the Nikon Z30 is the better camera for lens choice. Nikon has its nose ahead, though, with its new 12-28mm wide-angle zoom and a couple of compact full frame prime lenses that suit the size and the price of the Z30 pretty well. However, both makers have been slow to produce lenses specifically made for the smaller format.

At the time of its launch, the choice of 'native' lenses for Canon's APS-C mirrorless cameras is very limited.
