As we've stated before in the reviews for the EOS 760D and 750D which adopt a related sensor, Canon has made worthwhile improvements over the previous generation 18-Mpix unit, but the still relatively weak results at base ISO continue to hold sensor perfo...
The new Canon EOS M3 is a much more serious compact system camera than the original EOS M that we reviewed back in 2012. It offers a raft of improvements clearly aimed at making it more enthusiast-friendly, along with a big reduction in the launch price...
A very well-designed mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, the EOS M3 offers high-quality photos
It's slow, with a relatively limited feature set for the price
The Canon EOS M3 offers DSLR-quality photos and decent performance, but its feature set is average and the dearth of lenses shows a lack of commitment by Canon....

Good quality images and low noise, Tilting touchscreen, Wifi with NFC for sharing and remote control, Mic input and confident focusing for movies
No built-in viewfinder, Servo AF slows burst shooting down, Poor battery life. Little warning before expiry, Very limited selection of native EF-M lenses, No panorama or timelapse facility built-in, Continue: In depth
The EOS M3 is Canon's most serious mirrorless camera to date. It takes on board many of the issues with the original EOS M, makes a raft of improvements and ends up delivering an experience that's so much more satisfying - although as I discovered, still...

Limited EFM mount lens range, Frustrating autofocus system, No viewfinder builtin
While the M3 is very capable, the 18-55mm kit limits detail resolution significantly and the autofocus system has a habit of focusing on the background rather than the subject...

The image quality, both in jpeg and RAW, is excellent. Up to ISO 3200 noise is not an issue. Even jpegs have fine noise reduction that doesn't degrade the image and when the large 24 million pixel image is reduced to A4 size for printing noise is invisibl
The eyelevel electronic viewfinder is an expensive option
This camera is not sold in the US because even though it has all the important features of a DSLR it doesn't have the size and ostentation. The image quality is the same as for the bigger Canons. The LCD gives more information in shooting mode than you ge...

Although the EOS M3 is better configured for photo enthusiasts, the lack of a built-in EVF remains a serious barrier to its acceptance as a serious enthusiast's or pro photographer's camera – even as a back-up body. The small buffer capacity for raw files...
