Excellent camera. Technology features are fantastic

Canon has taken the EOS M line of cameras to the next level with their M5 model. The M5 brings some serious improvements to the line; increasing the image quality, power, and features that are offered.

iAuto and Program shooting modes are accurate and easy in all situations; Dual Pixel AF is very fast; Burst shooting went beyond the Canon claims; Great image quality at the lower ISOs; 5-Axis image stabilization was a help when shooting handheld stills; Touch AF is great for selecting an AF point...

High ISO includes a lot of noise; Touch AF can be difficult when turned on as it will change the AF point every time the LCD is touched (If you are not intending to use this feature; Limited M-Mount lens selection; 5-Axis IS was a little disappointing when shooting handheld video; Adapter adds...

Canon's EOS M5 is the company's highest-end mirrorless camera to date and by far its most satisfying. It's the first Canon mirrorless with a built-in viewfinder, and the first to also deploy the fabulous Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology which allows it to confidently refocus during movies, albeit still...

If you have been waiting to jump into a Canon MILC and an APS-C sensor format works for you, the EOS M5 is a great choice. While one may feel a tendency to treat a camera of this size as a point and shoot model, using it for those still-important snapshot opportunities that pop up (it works...

The new Canon EOS M5 is Canon's first M-system with an integrated EVF. The new EVF of the EOS M5 is based on OLED technology and offers a bright and brilliant image. With a frame rate of 120 Hertz it can refresh rapidly enough to cover even very fast moving objects.

Featuring a 24.2-megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor paired with a DIGIC 7 image processor, the Canon EOS M5 is the first mirrorless camera to offer Dual Pixel technology for fast and accurate autofocusing.

Let me be honest: I sincerely don't know what to think of the Canon EOS M5. There, I said it. I'm sitting here in front of my computer trying to write some useful insights and I realise I don't really have a clue. Do I like it? No. Do I dislike it? No. Perhaps the best word would be: indifference.

Canon turned up late to the mirrorless party. Very late. In fact, by the time it finally arrived in mid-2012, four years after Panasonic's ground-breaking G1, every other major manufacturer was already in the game.

Canon's EOS M5 is widely touted as the mirrorless alternative to the larger, heavier EOS 80D. There's certainly a number of parallels, including a 24.2 MP APS-C sized sensor, Full HD video recording, built-in wireless and almost the same number of focus points (49 vs 45 in favour of the M5).

Touch and drag; EVF at long last; comes with lens adapter when purchased with bundle

Shutter lag; EVF flickers a bit; strong competition in its price range

Canon EOS M5 is a good package camera all around. Getting a preview image that is about to be taken is excellent. You can save precious time and catch more good moments. I love the EVF and those dials are easier to access. The camera is also small and perfect for travellers who want to travel light.
