I have to say I am very impressed with this camera. Yes, there have been some people disappointed with the auto focus, but it depends on the lighting, the composition...for the most part this camera does not miss the mark. The colors are true, crisp contrast...it's very nice.

Canon's EOS M is its first ever CSC and comes with use of 70+ lenses via optional adapter, though it will satisfy consumers more than enthusiasts. Read our Canon EOS M review to find out more - REVISED 17 APRIL 2013

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.

Canon's first compact camera system (CSC) model has been an absolute age coming and, as the 18 megapixel EOS M arrives a full four years after some rivals' first, it has high expectations to fulfil.

Smaller, more portable body than many competing models; Compatible with a wide range of accessories from the world's biggest camera brand; Combination of sensor and Canon's optical excellence delivers sharp images that don't disappoint

Have to buy ￡130 adapter for access to wider range of Canon EF lenses, so-so battery performance; Lacks a decent handgrip for a steady hold with longer optics; No optical or electronic viewfinder built-in

As the last major camera manufacturer to take a stab at designing a compact interchangeable lens camera , Canon had plenty of time to see what others had done right and wrong and to avoid pitfalls in design.

Sharp images; Good high ISO performance; Compact body; Responsive touch screen; 1080p video recording

Very slow to start; Lethargic autofocus; No flash; No EVF option; Limited native lens library

Canon has thus far resisted the lure of the halfway house, waiting four years longer than rivals such as Panasonic to deliver a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses. Has the time been spent wisely, waiting for others to bash the kinks out of the format before arriving with a market leader?

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.

Good one for photography.But not good grip. I am not camera expert but need to learn more with character focusing in video,because I brought it only for videos.

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.
