Abstract: As the threat of camera phones destroying the SLR market increases, do the SLR manufacturers have a trick up their sleeves?The Canon EOS M is one of two steps most people will take into the Canon SLR range when transitioning from a phone camera. The other...
Abstract: A recent trip to Glastonbury left us wondering just which camera would be best to take to a festival. We wanted something that would take quality snaps, have some flexibility in terms of zooming and lenses and not be so big that it gets annoying carrying ...
Large image sensor, excellent build quallity, access to a plethora of own brand lenses, superb image quality that packs a punch even with 18-55mm kit zoom
No built in flash or Wi-Fi, narrow ‘grip’ to front, lacks eye-level viewfinder, LCD screen is non tilting
Powering up in two seconds, with the image before your lens momentarily adjusting with a half squeeze of the shutter release button, the ‘M's auto focus response could be quicker. But whether you're shooting JPEG or combining it with a Raw file, there app...
Considering this is Canon's first CSC, the EOS M is an impressive camera in many ways, and not least in terms of image quality thanks to sharing its sensor and processor with the EOS 650D. The camera body is extremely compact, which is good if you want a...

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....
