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.

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.

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.

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.

The mirrorless camera market was long notable for what it lacked: hardware from Nikon and Canon. Technically Canon has had a mirrorless offering for about four years, the EOS M, but it was a low-end model that felt more like a token gesture than a real camera.

Small and light enough to appeal to fans of compacts; Very fast and accurate autofocus---one of the best AFs we've seen; Excellent electronic viewfinder and touchscreen for easy and comfortable compositions

Lacks fast native lenses; There's a lens adaptor, but it costs another $200; Viewfinder blackout is pronounced; No 4K video, which feels odd in 2017

Canon's foray into the mirrorless world was fraught with missteps, with its first few efforts lagging well behind the competition in focus speed. The EOS M5 ($979, body only) represents a big change-its autofocus system is speedy, and it can fire off images at a quick 8.2fps burst rate.

24MP resolution; Quick autofocus; 8.2fps continuous shooting; TIlting touch-screen LCD; Sharp EVF; Built-in flash; Canon accessory compatibility; Wi-Fi

Video limited to 1080p; Omits weather sealing; Focus can struggle in dim light

The EOS M5 finally brings DSLR-level performance to Canon's mirrorless series.

Ergonomic design; Enthusiast-friendly control layout; Fast Dual Pixel autofocus; Good still image quality; Nice wireless connectivity options

No 4K video; Lens lineup lacks enthusiast options; EIS no substitute for sensor-shift stabilization

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.

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

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

Canon's EOS M cameras have been something of a disappointment, failing to translate the company's expertise at making DSLRs into the mirrorless camera market. But the M5 shows that Canon is getting there: This camera has many of the benefits of its larger DSLR cousins (image quality, ease of...

DSLR-like controls; Can use EF-S lenses with optional adapter; Compact size

No 4K video; Disappointing image and video quality in low light; Awkward video-shutter placement makes for bumpy video starts

Canon's foray into the mirrorless world was fraught with missteps, with its first few efforts lagging well behind the competition in focus speed. The EOS M5 ($979, body only) represents a big change—its autofocus system is speedy, and it can fire off images at a quick 8.2fps burst rate. It doesn't have as many features as our Editors' Choice at this price point, the Sony Alpha 6300 ($998.00 at Amazon) , which sports 4K capture, a weather-sealed design, and a faster burst rate. But the EOS M5 is a solid choice for Canon SLR system owners, as it can use EF lenses (via an adapter) and Speedlite flashes. Design The EOS M5 ($779.00 at Amazon) features an SLR-style design, with a centered electronic viewfinder and protruding handgrip. It's very compact, measuring just 3.5 by 4.6 by 2.4 inches (HWD) and weighing 15.1 ounces. If you've got big hands you may find the design to be a bit cramped, but everyone else will find the handgrip and rear thumb rest to be ample real estate on which to...

The Canon EOS M5 is the best mirrorless camera that Canon has made to date, but it lacks some features you can get elsewhere at this price point.
