Could you please advise if it's a good camera to take professional photos of the interiors (both large and detail pictures)? I have an old Canon Powershot but the photos are either to dark or to light, the colors look very bland and not as in reality. As a result the interior looks dull.

This is as close as you're going to get to a dSLR without actually buying one. The real highlight is the touch interface which makes it easy to fix the settings you need. Performance was good overall, although a little muted on an overcast day, and although the choice of native lenses remains fairly...

Large sensor; Great touch-driven interface; Excellent build quality; Price

Narrow selection of native lenses so far; Muted tones on overcast day

Many a fan of Canon have eagerly waited for the company to release the EOS M camera. It has been four years since the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) revolution and most major DSLR makers have released their own MILC model.

Accepts Canon EF and EF-S lenses via adaptor; compatible with Canon external flashes and accessories; touchscreen interface works well

Slow autofocus speed; rubber grip not big enough

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.

Canon has left it late in the day to release its first compact system camera: the EOS M. While other manufacturers have had a few years' head start, Canon has had the advantage of watching its competitors and the reactions of customers.

The Canon EOS M delivers arguably the best image quality per cubic inch (mm) - or per ounce (gram) of any Canon digital camera produced as of review time. When small and light are important specifications, and when image quality cannot be sacrificed, the Canon EOS M (the refreshingly shortest EOS...

Camera is small, lightweight, and compact. Images are equally as sharp as the Rebel, and colors are brilliant. It's a great Leica style camera for carrying on hikes, in the city, or on holiday. I do not like the slow focus, and shooting at night requires the purchase of an external flash.

The Canon EOS M is the very first compact system camera from Canon, who are the last major manufacturer to release a mirrorless model. The EOS M has an 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, new EOS M lens mount, a touch-screen interface, Full 1080p HD Movie mode, ISO 100-12800 (expandable to ISO 25600), a...

The Canon EOS M delivers on the image quality front, but is otherwise ultimately a let down. It's late to the compact system camera game and fails to offer anything truly special.

Image quality is DSLR-matching; EF-S lens adapter accessory available; flash included; fully manual movie mode with great results

Too pricey; autofocus system slower than the competition; battery life limitations; touchscreen has to be used to find certain settings/modes; no electronic viewfinder possible; limited EF-M lens options; flash not built-in

Canon is one of the last major camera manufacturers to release a compact system camera despite its long history. So was it worth the wait? Well, if you're familiar with Canon S-series compacts, you'll certainly find the EOS M looks reassuringly familiar.
