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.
The EOS M5 really opens up the SLR-versus-mirrorless debate. Many people like electronic viewfinders because they show the image exactly as the camera will capture it, but others prefer the visual clarity of an optical viewfinder.
Very compact for an APS-C camera; Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus; Effective control layout
Limited lens choice; Some exposure inconsistencies; Expensive compared to rivals
