Canon EOS M5 24.2MP Digital SLR Camera

The Canon EOS M5 24.2MP Digital SLR Camera is a versatile mirrorless camera featuring a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor. Combined, these technologies afford a wide sensitivity range, from ISO 100-25600, along with quick performance for up to 9 fps continuous shooting and Full HD 1080p/60 video recording. The sensor’s design also provides Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which offers quick and accurate phase-detection autofocus for multimedia use.

The Canon EOS M5 is the most enthusiast-friendly EOS M yet. It’s a 24MP mirrorless camera built around a Dual Pixel APS-C sensor, giving it depth-aware focus across most of the frame. On top of this it adds a built-in electronic viewfinder, a good number of external controls (including twin control dials) and a well implemented touchscreen.

The Canon EOS M5 is a very approachable camera, despite all those buttons and dials. In fact, it’s the implementation of this touchscreen that, in general, we’re most impressed with. Much like the system developed by Panasonic, the canon M5 not only lets you use the rear touchscreen to position focus, it also allows its use as a touchpad to move the focus point when you’re shooting through the viewfinder. This, combined with important autofocus, has proven to be significant for both stills and video shooting.

The camera has four dials in total: two main dials on the top of the camera, a dedicated exposure compensation dial and a fourth dial surrounding the four-way planner on the back of the camera. This is a much higher level of direct control than offered on the simpler EOS M-series models offered previously, suggesting Canon expects the user to take more hands-on control of the shooting experience.
