Review Summary
Reader Score: 6.00 (out of 10)
Hands-on Preview (Summary): "... Inside its compact body, the Canon EOS M retains much DNA from the Rebel T4i digital SLR. Shared features include an 18 megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor with on-chip phase detection capability, a single DIGIC 5 image processor, a hybrid autofocus system that uses phase-detect to achieve approximate focus for centrally-located subjects, then fine-tunes (or performs the whole AF operation, for subjects outside the center of the frame) using contrast detection.
Like some early mirrorless models from competitors, the Canon EOS M lacks an onboard flash strobe, and offers no electronic viewfinder functionality, either built-in or as an accessory. It does, however, offer a quite capable movie mode. Resolutions up to Full HD are supported, and options include manual exposure control, internal / external stereo mics, and manual audio levels control. ..."

| Hands-on Preview (Summary): "... Canon is the last big player to show its hand, and its initial entrant - the EOS M - is unashamedly targeted to the latter group of users. To all intents and purposes it's a mirrorless version of the recently-announced EOS 650D, but with a simpler interface that's designed to be more approachable for novice users, and obviously much more compact in size. ...
Because mirrorless cameras have struggled to make headway in the US, Canon is only going to sell one kit option in this market. Targeting an enthusiast buyer, the camera plus 22mm pancake will be available from speciality photo stores only for $799, with the 18-55mm zoom sold separately for $299. The company will also be emphasizing its video capabilities, which are essentially the same as the EOS 650D but in a smaller, cheaper package. ..." |
