  • As its first compact system camera, Canon has done a reasonable job with the EOS M. It is a good size for those who are looking for a pocketable DSLR alternative. Similarly, the initial lenses are quite small given the APS-C-sized sensor, and they are of...

  • Good grip and build quality, Multipoint touchscreen is nice to use, generally clear interface, Very good image quality, good kit lenses
  • Far too slow for this kind of camera!, Battery life is too short (make sure you carry a spare), AF assist light is on as soon as you quit PSAM modes, Not always sold with flash (check before you buy)
  • The Canon EOS M could be a great camera. In fact, its easy, pleasant-to-use design and image quality are easily worth four stars. However, the M's general slowness just isn't acceptable, which is why it ended up with a two-star score....

  • Image quality is DSLR-matching, EF-S lens adapter accessory available, flash included, fully manual movie mode with great results
  • Too pricey, autofocus system slower than the competition, battery life limitations, touchscreen has to be used to find certain settings/modes, no electronic viewfinder possible, limited EF-M lens options, flash not built-in
  • The EOS M may have the image quality front wrapped up, but its other shortcomings make it less than standout. It's pricey, autofocus is behind its competitors, the design is yawnsome and after biding its time the Canon ultimately fails to outshine most...

  • Smalle, more portable body than many competing models. Compatible with a wide range of accessories from the world’s biggest camera brand. Combination of sensor and Canon’s optical excellence delivers sharp images that don’t disappoint
  • Have to buy £130 adapter for access to wider range of Canon EF lense, soso battery performance. Lacks a decent handgrip for a steady hold with longer optics. No optical or electronic viewfinder builtin

  • Abstract:  Canon's compact camera system debut has been an absolute age coming and, as the 18 megapixel EOS M arrives a full four years after some rivals' first, it has high expectations to fulfil. Though the compact immediately ticks one box in featuring a large AP...

  • Smaller more portable body than many competing CSCs, compatible with a wide range of accessories from the world's biggest camera brand, combination of sensor and Canon's optical excellence delivers sharp images that don't disappoint
  • Have to buy and use £130 adapter for access to wider range of Canon EF lenses, soso battery performance, lacks a decent handgrip for a steady hold with longer optics, no onboard WiFi, no optical or electronic viewfinder builtin
  • Though it isn't immediately obvious that this is a touch screen model until you discover that a flick of finger and thumb will enlarge a portion of an image as on your phone, the sense here is that Canon, rather than deliver a breakthrough product has com...

  • Responsive touchscreen interface, Image quality, Premium build quality, Generous specification
  • AF and burst shooting could be faster, Limited number of dedicated lenses
  • The EOS M inherits the same clean, unfussy design seen on the majority of PowerShot and models – irrespective of the embossed branding there's no mistaking it for a Canon camera. Edges are soft and curved, and the EOS M's main design cue is the sculptured...

  Published: 2012-07-27, Author: Angela , review by: techradar.com

  • 18MP APS, C sensor, DIGIC 5 processor, Small size, High, build quality, Excellent touchscreen
  • AF system a bit slow, No optional EVF, No built, in flash, High price
  • Despite being very late to the CSC market, Canon has managed to produce a camera that isn't too far off the pace in many respects, and it should give the Nikon J2 a serious run for its money. Thanks to the combination of the 18MP APS-C format CMOS sensor...

  • Light weight, Brilliant colour reproduction, Quick to focus (with firmware update), Responsive touch screen, Easy to use, Loads of imaging options, Inbody peripheral correction, Stereo speaker and external mic output, Wellbuilt 1855mm STM lens, EF lens ad
  • Adaptor is expensive, No EVF, No Flash, Not too many lens options, No inbuilt GPS support
  • As people contemplate between bulk, user experience, and imaging quality, price is a major factor that can swing people's vote. Mirrorless cameras these days cost you a bomb, and that is where the EOS M comes as a breath of fresh air. A highly recommende...
