  • Abstract:  A recent trip to Glastonbury left us wondering just which camera would be best to take to a festival. We wanted something that would take quality snaps, have some flexibility in terms of zooming and lenses and not be so big that it gets annoying carrying ...

  • Large image sensor, excellent build quallity, access to a plethora of own brand lenses, superb image quality that packs a punch even with 18-55mm kit zoom
  • No built in flash or Wi-Fi, narrow ‘grip’ to front, lacks eye-level viewfinder, LCD screen is non tilting
  • Powering up in two seconds, with the image before your lens momentarily adjusting with a half squeeze of the shutter release button, the ‘M's auto focus response could be quicker. But whether you're shooting JPEG or combining it with a Raw file, there app...

  • Considering this is Canon's first CSC, the EOS M is an impressive camera in many ways, and not least in terms of image quality thanks to sharing its sensor and processor with the EOS 650D. The camera body is extremely compact, which is good if you want a...

  • The EOS M, Canon's first compact interchangeable lens camera, feels polished on the outside, but its poor performance makes it clear that you're looking at a first-generation product....

  • Image quality as strong as you'll find from a DSLR, but dithering autofocus and awkward ergonomics spoil the venture...

  • Large sensor; Great touch-driven interface; Excellent build quality; Price
  • Narrow selection of native lenses so far; Muted tones on overcast day
  • This is as close as you're going to get to a dSLR without actually buying one. The real highlight is the touch interface which makes it easy to fix the settings you need. Performance was good overall, although a little muted on an overcast day, and alt...

  • As its first compact system camera, Canon has done a reasonable job with the EOS M. It is a good size for those who are looking for a pocketable DSLR alternative. Similarly, the initial lenses are quite small given the APS-C-sized sensor, and they are of...

  • Good grip and build quality, Multipoint touchscreen is nice to use, generally clear interface, Very good image quality, good kit lenses
  • Far too slow for this kind of camera!, Battery life is too short (make sure you carry a spare), AF assist light is on as soon as you quit PSAM modes, Not always sold with flash (check before you buy)
  • The Canon EOS M could be a great camera. In fact, its easy, pleasant-to-use design and image quality are easily worth four stars. However, the M's general slowness just isn't acceptable, which is why it ended up with a two-star score....

  • Image quality is DSLR-matching, EF-S lens adapter accessory available, flash included, fully manual movie mode with great results
  • Too pricey, autofocus system slower than the competition, battery life limitations, touchscreen has to be used to find certain settings/modes, no electronic viewfinder possible, limited EF-M lens options, flash not built-in
  • The EOS M may have the image quality front wrapped up, but its other shortcomings make it less than standout. It's pricey, autofocus is behind its competitors, the design is yawnsome and after biding its time the Canon ultimately fails to outshine most...
