Great for the money, do not think you can get more today. However, I have not had time to test it with some EF-M loopholes than just the EF-S and a couple of older manual. Larger than its predecessor. Quick focus both manually and automatically. ISO useful way over 1600 which was my previous limit.

Canon EOS M5

Equipped with a 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor, the Canon EOS M5 offers similar image quality as its predecessors but much improved overall performance. Considering also its inclusion of Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a built-in electronic viewfinder and larger 3.2-inch touchscreen,...
Pros:
  • Enthusiast-oriented compact camera body
  • Good image quality in most situations
  • Built-in electronic viewfinder
  • Impressive Dual Pixel CMOS AF
  • Very good overall performance
Cons:
  • High ISO image quality and dynamic range aren't quite up to par with some of its competition
  • No 4K video recording
  • Native EF-M lens selection is still limited
  • Below average battery life

Exactly what I wanted

Prefect compliment to my full frame DSLR. Precisely what I was looking for, Prmiarily a Nikon shooter but this Canon is quite good though I need some time to get used to the differences in the menu structure vs. Nikon.. Well made and nice fit in hand. Feels like a mini DSLR.
Pros:
  • very good image quality
  • fast focusing for mirror less
  • great ergonomics in a small package
Cons:
  • a bit pricey and could use more fast native lenses in lineup
  • Battery life could be better but I understand, they were looking to keep the weight down so a minor compromise needed in battery capacity

A game changer for Canon

I have an M1, M3, 6D, and 60D. I never had a problem with quality of the photos from the M series (I have a 2 X 3 foot very clear enlargement from the M1 on the living room wall), but the camera was slow. I hesitated purchasing the M5 because I already had the M3, which also has 24 megapixels.

Great Camera! Just had a tiny glitch on the screen.

I really liked this camera, solid build and great quality photographs! Was very happy with it until I noticed a small white flickering dot on the bottom right on the touch screen. Sent back and was fully refunded for the camera and the shipping. Ordered a Canon 77D.

Canon ... Mirrorless ... Homerun!

Can't say anything other than ... Wow! Canon did a great job on this camera and I'd highly recommend to anyone. I'm a 7D Mark II shooter, but am finding that I shoot the M5 more often.
