Buying Guide Best DSLR: top cameras by price and brand Broadly speaking, compact system cameras (CSCs) can be divided into two groups; those that are designed to look and feel like mini-SLRs, and those that have a more rectangular appearance and look more...
Accepts EF and EF-S lenses via adapter, Small body, APC-C sensor
Won't know until we review it
Canon's first mirror-less interchangeable lens camera has an EOS pedigree and looks to be a fine product. It can accept EF and EF-S lenses via an adapter, but there are new, more compact lenses available for it, too, including a 22mm pancake. It will go o...

No. Canon's effort on the EOS M buttresses those frustrated users who believe that its beloved brand is focusing more on protecting its markets than it is on innovating. The EOS M is just too safe and too boring in a time when other companies are pushing...
Smaller more portable body than many competing CSCs; compatible with a wide range of accessories; combination of sensor and Canon's optical excellence delivers sharp images
Have to buy and use adapter for access to wider range of Canon EF lenses; so-so battery performance; lacks a decent handgrip for a steady hold with longer optics; no on-board Wi-Fi; no optical or electronic viewfinder built-in, $949 (body); $1049 (18-55mm
Very easy to use for beginner photographers. Offers similar image quality to the EOS 650D. Excellent HD video quality, and sound from the internal mic is good. Lightweight, portable and takes regular Canon EF lenses with an adapter
Can't start video recording in any other dial mode apart from movie. No option for an electronic viewfinder. No pop-up flash, though one is included in the box. Slow autofocus, resulting in very long shutter lag times

Light weight, Brilliant colour reproduction, Quick to focus (with firmware update), Responsive touch screen, Easy to use, Loads of imaging options, Inbody peripheral correction, Stereo speaker and external mic output, Wellbuilt 1855mm STM lens, EF lens ad
Adaptor is expensive, No EVF, No Flash, Not too many lens options, No inbuilt GPS support
As people contemplate between bulk, user experience, and imaging quality, price is a major factor that can swing people's vote. Mirrorless cameras these days cost you a bomb, and that is where the EOS M comes as a breath of fresh air. A highly recommende...
