With a very nice touch screen, a well-designed body, and excellent photo quality, the Canon EOS M has some attractive qualities
Seriously poor autofocus performance and battery life detract from the overall package
While it provides one of the best touch-screen experiences in its class and the compact body is quite comfortable to shoot with, the Canon EOS M's disappointing performance and blah feature set make it less attractive than competitors.

Sharp images. Good high ISO performance. Compact body. Responsive touch screen. 1080p video recording.

Solid construction, The use of Canon's full line of lenses (via optional adapter), DSLR sensor, Great image and video quality

In technology, we expect first-of-its-kind products to encounter teething issues. But in the case of the EOS M, Canon should not have had to reinvent the wheel. Perhaps the company is still unsure and testing the waters with this first try, or, as some ...
