Canon Cameras US EOS M5 Body 24.2 Digital SLR Camera with 3.2" LCD, Black

I bought this to replace my 9-year old Rebel XSI dSLR that has served me very well for over 70,000 exposures. I considered getting another dSLR, but found that I kept leaving the dSLR at home in favor of using my smartphone because of the size. I decided to give the M5 a try, as an attempt to 1) give me an ultra-portable option with the 22mm pancake lens, and 2) leverage all the existing EF and EF-S lenses I own (with an adapter). I considered the M6, but decided that ditching a viewfinder altogether was too drastic of a step away from a dSLR. So far I think my decision is panning out. Indeed the M5 + 22mm pancake is extremely portable and I'm carrying it around where I otherwise wouldn't. I'm putting it in a small fanny pack on bike rides. With the adapter, I can use my existing Canon prime lenses. While this is pricey compared to Sony equivalents, you're paying a premium for access to the Canon ecosystem and pedigree. Canon color is simply better than Sony color. Canon lenses are simply better and cheaper. The touchscreen focus is awesome. The "touch-to-drag" focus while using the viewfinder is awesome. The ability to actually manually focus is awesome since this camera has the "peaking" feature where in-focus areas show up as highlighted in red. I don't think any of the dSLRs can do that. Yes, the camera has the shortcomings people talk about. The battery life is lower than what I'm used to with Canon's Rebel lineup. The autofocus can be slow or hunt in low light (but the MF peak focusing feature makes up for that). The flash can be overpowered rather than the subtle fill. But I'm looking past those shortcomings in order to get a small/sweet package. Also the WiFi/Bluetooth integration is great.

Image quality so so, hoped for a better quality camera all together for the price. Not extremely expensive, but not cheap either. After 2 months of use, the ON/OFF nob did not turn of the camera so the batter would drain in my bag. Only way to turn it off was to open the battery door every time. Not happy at all.

Finally received the EOS M5-M with the 15-45 STM kit lens. The camera feels great in my hands and I'm really enjoying having a touch screen for the first time on a camera. The build quality of the camera is fine and the back screen and viewfinder are super sharp and bright. The kit lens seems fine but I need to really do more testing. It's very small but feels good in the hand and fits the body nicely. I picked up the Fotodiox Pro Lens Adapter with Auto-Exposure/Auto-Focus & Auto-Aperture (EF to EOSm - Auto) , so I will be using this with some L glass. (Had a weird experience with that adapter. At first it would not autofocus. After a minute it kicked in, I'm not sure if this delay is normal or not. If this continues, I might need to return it for the more expensive Canon Version - Canon EOS M Mount Adapter ) Since it showed up after dark, I've only done a few test shots. Did a few with available light and was amazed at how good the image stabilization worked at super slow shutter speeds. Decided to see how the menus worked with 600EX-RT Speedlite, controlled by the ST-E3-RT. Menus where just like what I have on my 5D MIII, only of course with the touch screen. Very happy but honestly, I haven't done very much with the camera yet. As I use and test it, I'll update this review.

This is what the M1 through M4 should have been - essentially a mini-DSLR with good performance. You can read the specs elsewhere, so I'll focus on why this works for me where the earlier models failed. First in line is performance - finally a mirrorless from Canon that acts like it's bigger brothers. Focus time is nicer, dynamic range is on-point, and sensor quality is superb. With the right lenses it can easily keep up with the lower end D and all the Ti range. I'll frequently choose this camera over my 5D for many mobile applications - places where I don't want to lug the full-frame beast. And I don't feel like I'm missing out - I use the adapter for the larger EOS L glass I have, and while it's often the "lens with a camera attached" effect, that doesn't bother me much. And the native lenses aren't much behind either - canon has done a good job with these. The built in viewfinder also fits my usage profile, and I'm glad I don't have to mess with an externally attached one. If you don't need it, the M6 is just about the same camera with some other minor changes. I can't really comment on the consumer type features, as I don't really use them much - sure it's nice to move the screen around sometimes, but that's not really my thing 99% of the time. If you want to talk cons - battery life is too short, so get a second battery. All that screen and viewfinder eats power compared to my older DSLR's. Sometimes the screen is hard to read in bright light - maybe they could come up with a simple solution, like a shade. Making it brighter would only make the battery problem worse. And while the viewfinder is nice, it's no optical viewfinder still - almost, but not quiet. Maybe next generation?

This camera is amazing! I bought it for a specific photo project in mind, but I'm already in love with it's ease of use and the fact I can use my EF lenses with a mount adapter. My previous camera was the T3i DSLR, and the major thing the Eos M5 has over the rebel series is size. It's miles ahead of the t3i in performance and image quality. My other shooter is a canon g7x-mark ii, and the menu system is similar, so the handling is familiar. I opted for the body only because I wanted to get the EF-M 22mm pancake lens. Which is so amazing with the camera. I wasn't completely sold on the kit lenses, although the 15-45 was a consideration at one point. The ef-ef-m mount adapter bring full functionality to my 50mm macro and 28mm lens. Those are full frame lenses, so the 50mm is converted to 85mm and the 28mm becomes almost 50mm. With the EF-M 22mm, its the equivalent to a 35mm on a full frame sensor. Anyway, I think canon might be mark-2ing this, or releasing something new, so get it while you can.

Creo que está mejor esta que la m50. El estabilizador funciona muy bien. Tamaño compacto, buenísima para viajar y no llamar la atención

Amazing fast focus. Moderate battery

Great little camera with plenty of features and sensors . I reccomend a purchase of an extra battery or two as the large screen chews up power. The internal flash is good for about 1-1.5m. I use a Metz automatic ttl flash for longer shots. The only draw back is that Canon does not make a wide variety of Lenses for this camera. A converter is needed to use Canon EF lenses. The controls are placed perfectly and shutter lag is minimal. Great travel camera!

Todo me llegó bien y orden, considero que pudieron poner mayor protección a la caja que contenía la caja de la cámara.
