  • Lots of quick access dials and buttons, Bright and clear viewfinder, Tilting touch-sensitive screen
  • M-mount lens range limited, Screen not fully articulated, Pricey
  • It's got the specs to make camera fans drool, and felt fantastic to shoot with when I got to try it out. The EOS M5 looks like Canon is finally doing mirrorless right - and it might even be enough to convince DSLR die-hards to upgrade. The idea is that t...

  • On paper, the M5 looks like a mini-EOS 80D; however, that's not quite the case. The built-in electronic viewfinder, the additional controls, and 7 fps burst with continuous AF (9 fps with AF locked) are all welcome additions. Taken together with the 24.2-...

  • 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
  • There's a lot to like in the Canon EOS M5. It combines the controllability of a DSLR with the smaller size and weight of a mirrorless camera. It doesn't displace the Sony A6000 as our editor's pick for mirrorless camera, though, as it is more expensive, l...

  • Very compact for an APS-C camera, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, Effective control layout
  • Limited lens choice, Some exposure inconsistencies, Expensive compared to rivals
  • 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. The M5 is tiny, where si...
