Canon EOS M5 Review
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.
Pros:
- Very compact for an APS-C camera
- Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus
- Effective control layout
Cons:
- Limited lens choice
- Some exposure inconsistencies
- Expensive compared to rivals

Canon EOS M5 Review – A Minified, Mirrorless Canon EOS 80D
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.

Canon EOS M5 may be the company's first competitive mirrorless camera With much improved performance specs over the sluggish older models, the M5 looks like it might be a solid addition to the line and a decent alternative to Canon's similarly priced Rebels.

Too much delivery charges
They're taking too much delivery charges for this camera. If these were not being applied, I would have bought it right now without a second thought as I am such a die hard photographer that I currently have Canon 1200D.

Too expensive to have bugs
I returned it in case Canon don't fix the shutter delay issues now widely discussed on dpreview. This issue makes the camera a disappointment to use in low light (with or without flash) even in manual mode with manual focus.

A serious piece of photographic kit.
I bought this Eos M5 as a body and EF lens adaptor only, initially, to use for wildlife shots, when sitting in a hide. I'd heard of other hide users getting annoyed when the sound from the mirror of an SLR going up and down frightened off the subjects.

Great start.. could be way better.
I like the M5 but I want this to be a killer Mirrorless Camera and so whilst this is a 3rd Canon body for me I'd love to see some improvements in the next version. I did have a Fuji XT2 and whilst it was a great camera it meant I had to invest in a second set of lenses.

Canon EOS M5 review: 'Mirrorless 80D' fails to faze its compact system competition
It's fair to say we've been highly critical of Canon 's compact system camera EOS M line. For a simple reason, though: the Japanese company's mirrorless cameras simply haven't been able to stand up to the competition.
Pros:
- Small size
- big step forward for EOS M series
- fast autofocus setup (finally)
- decent viewfinder and touchscreen combination
- access to lots of lenses (via adapter
Cons:
- Battery depletion issues
- autofocus setup can't compete with the best mirrorless cameras out there
- high ISO sensitivity shows off image noise
- no 4K video
- expensive compared to competition
