Canon EOS M5 Review
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...
Canon EOS M5 review
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...
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.

- Adapter adds...
Canon EOS M5
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 Mirrorless Camera Review
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.
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.- Very compact for an APS-C camera
- Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus
- Effective control layout
- 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.
