Compact system cameras (CSCs) have reshaped the digital camera market over the last four years, but it looked as if Canon was never going to join the fray. The inevitable has finally happened, though. The EOS M is Canon's first CSC.

Perhaps they considered this category as a no-go, but seeing the success of all these various brands they've finally come out with the EOS M. Are they too late, though? Will it really manage to impress? To find out, we tested out the li'l guy.

No. Canon's effort on the EOS M buttresses those frustrated users who believe that their beloved brand is focusing more on protecting their markets than they are on innovating. The M is just too safe and too boring in a time when other companies are pushing the envelope and offering more in almost...

The EOS M is Canon's first foray into the mirrorless camera market that is currently dominated by Micro Four Thirds models from Olympus and Panasonic, along with Sony's NEX lineup.

" I have tested this camera and similar cameras from another sales firm. The cameras fail in one all important aspect,they lack a viewfinder. Please Q.V.C find and add to your store compact cameras with both viewfinder and zoom lens. Thank You.

We do not know whether it has been spurred by the competition or sheer market demand, but Canon has now plunged into the mirrorless DSLR camera segment. And their first salvo in this category is the EOS M, a sleek camera that frankly is a bit expensive but does deliver crisp shots.

I must clarify I have only given 9pts in overall/construction because I think they could have included wi-fi (which they did on the M2) but honestly it is one of the best cameras I had. For $369 I got the camera with a EFM 18-55 STM IS (a good) lens and the flash (nothing too special).

Excellent quality pictures in a 1/4 size of a normal SLR; compatible with EF lenses (w/adapter

For me just not having a electonic viewfinder (complimentary) and the neck strip that drives me crazy; The lack of dedicated EF-M lenses (primes and big tele) for those who don?′t want to use the adapter could also be one

The EOS M delivers high-quality images in a tiny, high quality package - but it's slow. The cheapest DSLR like a Rebel T3i performs as well or better for a lot less money, and includes a great flash and viewfinder, but it's a little bigger.

Отличная техника за столь низкую стоимость. Идеально подойдет для тех, кому надоело таскать технику PRO. Не ожидал увидеть такое качество у китовых объективов. В магазине сравнивал с лейкой. лейка курила нервно в сторонке. беру для путешествий.

When the first rumors of the Canon's mirrorless camera started circulating on the Internet, I was dying to see how Canon would respond to the Nikon 1 system. I wondered if Canon would release a small sensor mirrorless like Nikon, or go with a bigger sensor and a bigger mount.
