Look quite attractive, with a simple design; High resolution touch screen makes it easy for ca

Choice of the lens is not much; Battery somewhat wasteful

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

Nice little camera which I use quite often. :-) Bad lowlight performance, and limited dynamic range not sooo much better than Sigma Foveon Cameras. ISO200 is visibly worse than ISO100, and ISO1600 just that noisy You rather won't use this setting, if not nessecary. Best was the price!

Late to the mirrorless camera game, the Canon EOS M wasn't a big hit at launch -- primarily due to reports of its glacial autofocus speeds. (Something we discovered here at IR immediately.

Excellent image quality; Attractive; sturdy build; EF and EF-S lens compatibility

Sluggish focusing performance; No mode dial and sub-par UI; Below-average battery life

Canon has finally made the leap into ILC (interchangeable lens cameras) market with the long awaited EOS M. Along with the new camera comes a new line of EF-M lenses, designed specifically for this new mount.

Auto shooting mode is accurate and easy in all situations; Camera is ready to capture still images in video recording mode; Overall image quality is outstanding; Video quality is excellent; Continuous AF keeps your videos in focus; 3.0-inch Touch LCD is easy ot use and very high resolution; Burst...

No built-in flash unit; Only two lenses available for the EF-M mount; AF is very slow; Dedicated video recording button doesn't work in still shooting modes; Lacks features of other ILC cameras; IS is only available on lenses; not built into camera; Very few controls; makes using the manual features...

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...
