Abstract: Perhaps they considered this category as a no-go, but seeing the success of all these various brands they've finally come out with the EOS M. Are they too late, though? Will it really manage to impress? To find out, we tested out the li'l guy.Chaitanya Ta...
Abstract: We do not know whether it has been spurred by the competition or sheer market demand, but Canon has now plunged into the mirrorless DSLR camera segment. And their first salvo in this category is the EOS M, a sleek camera that frankly is a bit expensive bu...

No. Canons effort on the EOS M buttresses those frustrated users who believe that their beloved brand is focusing more on protecting their markets than they are on innovating. The M is just too safe and too boring in a time when other companies are pushi...
Abstract: I have here something of an oddity. It takes many design cues from a full sized DSLR, and yet is about the size of a compact. It weighs about as much as one of the popular mirrorless cameras, however, it definitely isn't one. After having some trouble par...
The Canon EOS M is a promising product that feels like it was released before it was finished. Most of it is certainly excellent: The camera body is a solid work of art, with a clean-cut look and rich paint job. The touch-screen is the best we've seen in...
It is good that Canon is doing something to improve EOS M's slow AF performance
Under dim fluorescent lighting, the white M took about 2sec to get a sharp focus on a white subject. At times, it failed to lock onto a focus
But if the AF issue was firmware-related, one wonders why the EOS M is not shipped with the new firmware instead of being updated almost eight months after it was launched....
Lightweight and compact, Responsive touchscreen, Compatible with EF and EFlenses (with mount), Excellent image quality
No viewfinder, Screen can be too sensitive, Short battery life when used to shoot stills and videos, Expensive
Canon steps into the ring of the mirrorless ILC market with the EOS-M—a compact snapper with the same processing chip and AF system as the 650D. It may have flawed AF and an overly sensitive touchscreen, but it can surely give you optimum-quality results....
Rich image quality that rivals Canon's own entry level DSLRs; Excellent video quality and controls; Sturdy body balances portability with quality; Ability to use EF lenses with an adaptor; Simplified features for a casual audience as well; Could replace an entry level DSLR for most,
Disappointingly slow autofocus in both photos and video; Noisy autofocus motor; Low light grain on extremely high ISO looks ugly.
Canon definitely took their time to enter a camera market segment that is becoming increasingly attractive to consumers, but they can take solace in the fact that they mostly delivered a product worthy of the wait. The image quality of the EOS M is exc...
Sluggish autofocus speeds, Low battery life, External flash is not standard
The Canon EOS M is a promising product that feels like it was released before it was finished. Most of it is certainly excellent: The camera body is a solid work of art, with a clean-cut look and rich paint job. The touch-screen is the best we've seen in...
El adaptador que hace posible usar lentes profesionales, la calidad de imagen, su tamaño compacto, la pantalla táctil y que cuenta con una zapata para colocar un flash externo
Tarda un poco en enfocar cosas que no estén muy claras. Hay que comprar el adaptador aparte. El lente 22mm, a pesar de ser muy bueno, es algo limitado
Si sabes de fotografía, conoces los controles manuales y buscas una cámara de respaldo que ofrezca la misma calidad que una profesional, esta EOS M es una gran opción....
