Canon EOS M5 Review
Canon EOS M5 sensor review: Made for mirrorless
Reminiscent of its DSLRs in design, it is the first in the series to adopt a built-in electronic viewfinder with 2.36M-dot OLED display. With twin-command dials, as well as both mode and exposure compensation dials, it also features a much higher level of control than previously seen in the M-series. Add continuous shooting up to 9 fps (7 fps with C-AF) and digital 5-axis image stabilization (in conjunction with in-lens IS) during video capture, plus the inevitable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and you have a compelling addition to the lineup. Highlights (specifications) 24.2-MP APS-C CMOS sensor Dual Pixel AF DIGIC 7 image

Five years after their first mirrorless M-series camera, the sixth generation of the Canon M has arrived — the EOS M6. Boasting similar internal specifications to its sister model, the EOS M5, the EOS M6 features a 24Mp APS-C sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, Canon’s latest Digic 7 processing engine, and 1080/60p video. |

The EOS M5 is the latest addition to Canon’s expanding range of mirrorless models, and is the most enthusiast-oriented to date. It features a 24MP APS-C-format CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel AF across 80% of the frame, first seen on the EOS 70D. Enabling focus tracking during movie capture as well as improved subject acquisition in stills during Live View, this sensor-based phase detection technology is being rolled out across Canon’s lineup, including in the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. |
