Underrated camera. Canon camera quality, Canon lenses, smaller packageI 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.5If your looking for a great mirrorless cameraIf your looking for a great mirrorless camera, this Is well worth the money. If you are currently a cannon user and already have lenses, the adapter is also a must have. I haven t noticed any lag time while using EOS lenses and the adapter, very responsive focuse pull while using the touch screen even when using the EVF. As a semi-pro, if you are looking for a great day camera for cutting down on weight or for a beginner looking to capture those precious moments, this is a camera worth looking into.5Nice CameraExcellent camera. Put away my DSLR's and use this exclusively now except for occasional work with G7 or G3. Using a Canon converter, can still use my entire collection of lenses for the DSLR's. It even quickly focuses a Tamron 16-300 through the converter.5An amazing camera for even better price!I've been doing photography over a decade now, and every time I travel I lug an enormous weight just in camera bodies and lenses. This time I said I was going to go minimal so after an immense amount of research I settled on this body mainly because of the price. Taking price out of equation this camera proved to be amazing for landscape, portrait, low light and especially video. It shoots video only in 1080 but that is all i need to create some amazing footage. All in all it beats out a lot of cameras out of its price range! Would I buy again? Absolutely!5Cool little camera for a light travel or gimbal cameraCool little camera for a light travel or gimbal camera. I use it as a second video camera when necessary or for lower end work. On a gimbal such as a Zhiyun Crane it s great because it s super light, gives you more leeway to attach L lenses and an adapter. For video, immediately buy a third party flat picture profile if you want to do any kind of cinematic work, which it does surprisingly well when used the right way. DPAF in video is amazing, fast and smooth, not slight waver or how by like Sony s or others, allows you to replicate cinematic movements really well.Downsides, beside the amazing DPAF, there just isn t enough bang for the buck. Rival Sony s or Panasonic s offer much more in that way, except from personal experience their video autofocus is awful comparatively speaking. The overall feel is also cheap and plastic-y. EVF blackout makes high shutter rates almost unusable but for me I don t need it for that.If you must have a decent side piece that s a Canon, this is a great little sidearm. Just make sure it fits your needs first before dropping bank on it.4M3 --> M5Pros:1. Much improved AF speed over M3. Pretty much instantaneous. In dimmer light and lower contrast situation, the AF struggles a little bit with slow zoom lenses. However there is now manual focus peaking which is quite helpful. I tried using the 35 f2 IS through an adaptor. It's incredibly fast even in low light.2. Touch and drag AF. While looking through the viewfinder, you can drag the focus point using the touch screen. This can be useful in some situations. But I find it faster to compose with with the LCD screen, tap on what I want to focus on, and then look through the viewfinder. Or if I am taking picture of a person, I just use face detect.3. The ergonomics is getting even more similar to other Canon DSLR. I am able to adjust settings much quicker than when using M3. The grip is still very small and not comfortable to hold for extended period of time. But that's really the trade-off we have to live with.4. Built-in viewfinder is nice and bright. Unlike an optical viewfinder, there is a lag that is noticeable espeically if I do a panning motion. This is something to get used to. I believe Fuji xt2 has shorter lag but that's a different league of mirrorless camera. The EVF in the M5 is good enough for my purpose. Definitely beats the detachable EVF of the M3.5. Customizable buttons. Most buttons can be customized to my own liking. For instance, I assign the delete button as touch shutter, the flash button as display on/off, the front button as AF->servo, etc. Even the red dot record button can be assigned to something else.6. Flip screen. I have had 80D briefly. I personally prefer a simple flip up/down screen as opposed to a fully articulating screen. With an articulating screen I need to flip the screen out to the side before I can flip up and down. To me that's not very efficient. Flipping up and down is so much faster. It can flip all the way facing front for selfies.7. Image quality. Nothing to complain about. Even M3 was pretty good. Now with improved dynamic range, I'm even happier with how much I can edit the RAW files.8. Continuous shooting. With the M3 if I hold down the shutter it will take something like 5 pictures and then the camera slows down. I'm not a techie but I guess the buffer fills up too quickly. Now it can last way longer. Nothing scientific. But at least I no longer feel like I'm missing critical moments as the M3 would .9. Small. To take advantage of compactness you absolutely must use M lenses. Canon finally came out with a 18-150mm which I purchased also. M5 + 11-22 + 18-150 +28 macro pretty much fulfills most of my needs. I still carry 5dmk3 with me sometimes but its main purpose now is for fast prime lenses like 135L. I use slow zooms on M5 and fast primes on full frame. To me it makes the most sense. I only got the 18-150 for one day. So far I'm happy with my purchase. It seems as good as the 18-55 kit.10. Customizable timer. Now with M5, I can set up the camera to, for instance, take 10 pictures consecutively with 5 seconds delay. What it means is that I can set up the camera on a tripod, walk back to my family, and get 10 pictures taken while we try to convince our 3 year-old to look at the camera. I don't think it was available on m3.Cons:1. Expensive. Listing price is not substantially cheaper than 80D. The 80D is a better camera in an absolute sense. But M5 is compact and offers similar image quality. 80D is weather sealed. M5 is not. A refurbished or used M3 is around $300 right now. I personally feel that $800 would have been a fair launch price. If you don't need it right now, you should wait for a price drop.2. No weather sealing. Granted, the M lenses are not weather sealed so it's pointless to weather seal the camera body. But the thought of paying $1000 for a non-weather resistant camera just doesn't much sense especially knowing that the 80D does offer weather resistance. It's not a deal breaker but I would have been a happier customer.3. Battery life. It's nothing compared to the 80D which can shoot hundred of shots without recharging. Just buy a few spares. I don't under why Canon charges so much for the EP 17. Almost the same price as 5D, 80D batteries.4. Where is tap and focus?? I have to tap on the subject I want to shoot and then half press shutter to focus. This happens when I disable continuous focus. If I let the camera keep acquiring focus it'll drain the battery, so I always turn continuous focus off. This is different from the 80D where I can tap on the screen and it will focus on exactly where I tap. I get very annoyed by this. Maybe Canon is trying to help us save battery but they should give users the option to turn it on/off. Well, at least I can use tap and shoot, which is another handy feature. Tap to focus is available in movie mode. That's a big deal. Because if it's not even available in movie mode, I'm returning the camera.SummaryOverall, I'm ambivalent about the M5. It's finally looking less like a point and shoot and more like a dslr. I like M5 to some extent but it doesn't quite match the 80D. It's certainly better than M3 in many ways. But it depends on how desperately you need faster AF and a viewfinder. In terms of image quality, there just isn't substantial change. M3 was great. I'm not a patient person and I can't stand the M3 being slow.My biggest gripe is price. If as I said the launch price were $800 and I had purchased it at a nice discount price of $650 I'd be a happy camper. I'm trying to say that the value proposition isn't high at this point. The reason I bought it at launch price is because I can no longer carry heavy gear like I used to, and the only mirrorless option from canon that can do what I need it to do is M3 or M5, and between them M5 is highly preferable.Another thing many complain about is the lack of lens selection. I felt that way before. But now that the 18-150 and 28 macro are released, I think I'm happy as far as lens choices. I don't want big lenses on a small body. Slow zoom is fine if that's what it takes to preserve compactness.4Good walkaround alternative to the DSLR, and finally the performance is there.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?4Nice addition to my Canon familyGreat camera! I like that I can use my L lenses with the adapter if I need to use it as an extra camera, and I like that it can be a rather compact throw in the carry-on camera (with the M lenses), which was the reason for my purchase. I have not been disappointed! Now, unless I am on a trip with a specific photographic mission, this is my go-to travel camera. I think it would also be a fine solo camera for the new or casual photographer, with the recommendation to get out there and learn or take a class in order to get it off of the Auto setting! Otherwise, a point and shoot camera will probably suffice.5Good for the most part...I enjoyed using this camera but had to return it as the AF is just a bit slow/hit and miss for what I do. Produces great images on par with a Sony a7ii even though this isn't full-frame. Handles high ISO very well for an APS-C camera body. Camera is relatively light and very small. I have small hands and didn't have any issues using it even though it's incredibly compact. The camera is NOT weather sealed although I have seen videos of the camera being used reliably in 20 degree weather. Used with the adapter I experience no loss in IQ with Canon USM/EF/IS lenses.4Great ergonomics. Great for taking pictures. Okay for everything else. This review is for the Canon EOS M5 Mirrorless Camera EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit.TL;DR This is the only mirrorless camera that made sense to me. The body is perfect. Mirrorless camera do not need to be uber-compact, sacrificing grip and physical controls, as you will haul lenses anyway. Good at everything it does, but not exceptional at anything. Also, Canon had some questionable and outdated choices on this camera.This review if from a consumer. Most reviews online are from DSLR pros, or even mirrorless fans. This review is not one of those. I won't pretend to be a photography guru. What I will focus instead is what I understand best: the hardware.CONTENTS: Intro | What I Like | What I Don't Like | What I Hate | Package | Outro | Notes | Comments | Verdict- - - - -I've long stayed away from mirrorless cameras because they did not make sense to me. The use case was just not there. The best camera is the one you take with you, and mirrorless are although smaller than a DSLR still bulky due to the lenses. Photography is a hobby, but not a source of living for me. But then, somehow, my 1-inch sensor felt inadequate at times. This is also the reason I got this over a micro four-thirds.WHAT I LIKE + + Still my favorite ergonomics (Canon).+ Can open battery/card compartment without removing tripod.+ The Android app for remote shooting and wireless transfer is very responsive.+ Not too much lenses to choose from. + I really like the optional macro lens you can use with this (Canon only).WHAT I DON'T LIKE Very, very, plasticky body. No hint of metal (besides the knobs). Not fully articulating screen. Canon pulled an Apple, by partially locking battery compatibility. Even the 1080p is mediocre. What appears to be a bug on the AF/AE Lock. I find the mode dial lock unnecessary. They should have included the EOS lens adapter. Not a lot of accessories, like a battery grip.WHAT I HATE Can't charge through USB. Cannot re-assign buttons when in "auto" mode. No PC-tethered remote shooting. I was about to write my own program, but I couldn't proceed because it is not even supported by the SDK. Very fragile data ribbon for the screen.PACKAGE EOS M5 Body 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Canon Battery Pack LP-E17 Canon Battery Charger LC-E17 Canon-branded neck strap Micro USB data cable Printed materials Hot shoe cover (Canon-safe) Adequate packaging No extra battery No lens adapterMy background: I am not a professional, I do not own a DSLR. I know how to shoot. I currently use a G5 X, and also have a G15. I've also had a G9, and an S3 IS (2005-ish, my first camera, and it has an EVF and articulating screen).- - - - -NOTES I acknowledge that this is a "con" for DSLR users. I do however think that the target market of this camera are those who are just starting into the whole "body+lens" camera. Having little option can also be a good thing, especially when you are learning. I know a lot of DSLR owners, who are regular consumers, who shoots at auto all the time, and cannot decide what lens to purchase. I think this is the perfect camera for these people, to really learn. These are downgrades for me, comparing to the G5 X. I already knew these before buying, and does not factor much in my rating. I do not care for 4K when it comes to consumer-grade products. But I, at least, expected 1080p to be great. It is okay, and I really like how smooth the focus is. I cannot believe this. I thought the days of bringing a battery charger is over. This would have been fine have they included the separately sold USB battery charger. Or if the battery has a USB slot. OR if the battery lasts longer. I find this unacceptable in 2017. I almost never shoot Auto, but people around me do. I always like to set the EVF to manual control. However, I find the camera unusable this way when in any of the Auto modes.. . .COMMENTSThis camera is for consumers like myself. If you're a pro and primarily use a DSLR, then this might not be perfect due to the lack of lens options. It is worth noting though that you can use Canon EOS lenses with this.Having used a G5 X, I got really disappointed with this camera. The G5 X is better built, looks more premium, has superior screen ergonomics, and can charge in-camera. This camera will not replace my G5 X, but rather will be a companion.- - - - -VERDICT: It's okay. I'll recommend it if you like Canon ergonomics (which I do). | 3 stars out of 5. My objective rating. I tried my best to avoid post-purchase rationalization (choice-supportive bias).Questions?
