Pros: AF speed, possibility to use the touchscreen to position the MAF point, sharp viewfinder, customizable ring nuts, possibility of speedbooster adapter for EF optics, compatibility with Canon Optical Park, practically pocketable with EF m 22mm

Cons: Does not hold up well the high ISO, lacks focus on eye, few lenses EF-M

Opinion: Light, ideal for travel (especially where it is not possible to carry bulky hand baggage). With the 22mm it finds its raison d'être. Nothing to envy to reflex APSC, but does not stand against the 6d. Compared to this produces larger files but noisier already from the 400 ISO. It is compatible with EF lenses. I'm also trying the ef m2 Viltrox to adjust the lenses I already had and reduce focal and increase brightness and it seems to behave very well with canon lenses, less with Tamron. But this is to be attributed to the adapter. Video compartment I don't know why I don't use it.

Pros: Lightness-Super Compact optics-quality

Cons: APSC-All too small in hand, but still good ergonomics

Opinion: Ideal Travel Machine. The image quality is great, the lenses are very fast. It has No compromises, it only makes extremely sharp photos. If you want a room to always have in your bag or backpack is this. Light practice and comfortable. The limits: Not at the top of the APSC, other brands certainly have done better in the numbers but in practice I would not be so sure. Are you a photography enthusiast? It's Not for you! Do you Want a machine that makes perfect shots without putting too much head? To buy right away, the used one has a ridiculous price for what it gives you! Will The EF-M system die in a few years? Whatever. If you want to invest and have used value is the wrong choice!

Pros: Portability, performance, compatibility with Canon EF-EF-S lenses via adapter, construction.

Cons: Battery Life (I think it depends on the touchscreen of the screen, maybe it is better to deactivate).

Opinion: Purchased on the Internet at an advantageous price, next to the old 60D and EOS lenses that I possess, as a second body. I like it, it is light and manageable and I chose it prefering it to the M50 that has in addition the 4k and more points of focus, but a constructive look more plasticoso. In my Opinion among the Canon Aps-C mirrorless, is the best.

Pros: Use EF kit, compactness, weight, many ring nuts, very "macro-practical"

Cons: compactness, weight, autonomy, lag viewfinder

Opinion: After 7 months of use in a purely naturalistic field (avifauna, macro) I can express an almost definitive judgement. I took it mainly to do macro but I could not fail from trying it even where you need speed and where, I cmq brought home something, but aware that the 7d2 that I have is of another level as to ergonomics, speed, and accuracy. The lag of the viewfinder (typical of mirrorless) when you need operating speed really becomes a problem. A different story instead in macro, where the M5 is really preferred especially for the convenience of a touch and tilting display and a focus peaking that cmq useful. I put compactness and weight between the pros and the cons.... it depends on the use that it makes: it is a problem in the genres where you need a firm ergonomics and balanced Freehand.... is an advantage in the most "reasoned" on tripod. As a sensor we are on excellent levels and in processing you have no problems whatsoever if you work well in the shooting phase (as always on the other hand). In the gallery I have now several shots in high resolution to be seen... On A constructive level does not disappoint. Overall it is a very nice mirrorless that maybe it is out with a slightly excessive price but that I recommend to all those who are interested in such a machine, especially to those who already have a Canon SLR kit that wants to exploit via adapter (full Compatibility with everything for me) adding a light body to be used maybe with the 22 mm pancake for a quality and pocket configuration.

Pros: size, weight and speed focus

Cons: battery life

Opinion: The size and reduced weight are a great benefit both those traveling on excursions. The possibility then you can use the kit already own objectives represents a further considerable advantage. Operationally, it is very convenient in the 'use even sfruttamdo the tilting screen and the focus touch screen. The M5 mounted 55-200m still has a small size and is not flashy favoring also the shot of street photos. I use it for a couple of weeks and total I am very satisfied of 'purchase and I give a judgment definitely positivornrn

Pros: Mirrorless, Reflective Body Complement, 2nd Best Body, EF Optical Use, Precise and Fast Autofocus, Touch Screen, Electronic Viewfinder, Quality Files, Articulated Screen.

Cons: No remote snapshot via USB. Battery life. Battery other than FF and therefore need a double charger

Opinion: According to me it has 2 functions: rn1) ML portable with 22mm - street exits or events with friends.rn2) According to the body of a FF which, with EF lens adapter, multiplies by 1.6, extensively extending the kit. RnrnM5 has several advantages, especially as second body. Rn- Continuous AF in video stabilizers and stabilizing AF-level body, higher than 6D. Safer and faster. With an FF body in the kit and two lenses (35 and an 85mm EF) on M5 actually become a 55 and a 135mm equivalent. This only with 450 gr. Rn- connectivity nfc, bluetooth, wifi. RnrnIt does not have remote snapshot with usb. Function usable in wifi with tablet or smartphone. RnEsthetically it's great. Dimensions not as compact as the 2nd body due to the EF adapter, can become compact with the optimal 22mm. rnrnVeloce. Intelligent. I really liked it. Rationalize the kit. RnNot a first Canon body I might prefer Olympus, maybe OM-1 mk2.

Pros: Compactness, ergonomics, touch screen, AF

Cons: dynamic range

Opinion: now after a month of using this new Eos M5, now is the time to draw some conclusions. I bought this after ML experience in Sony (wonderful sensor, but total system cost too high) and one in Fuji (the development problems with adobe, I, I found them), and when Canon has released a mirrorless that he promised a good AF, small size and total compatibility with all Canon the world, did not I think twice before giving her a chance. The car looks good, built in polycarbonate rather than metal, but now it seems that the trend in the canon is that. The dimensions are extremely compact, which, however, does not involve an awkward arrangement of buttons, in fact, ergonomics is very good even for those who, like me, has great hands. of the button Honorable Mention "dial func." I wonder why no one thought of it before. The touch screen and is extremely convenient not only in the experience of use in live view, but also when con the eye to the viewfinder using it in style joystick to change the focus point. Fire that then the car hooked very quickly, both with EF-M lenses with both EF lenses (with the original adapter, I have not had a chance to try it with third-party adapters). In conditions of good light focus is lightning, when used with USM lenses then not much difference with 5d2 I had before. The dark slows down a bit, but between the auxiliary light, and some care is still a good standard. Making a comparison, I would say that is the same level of what I had on 5d2.rnNei against, but it is not a machine problem because the entire ecosystem Canon, the sensor seems to be a generation behind the equivalent sony regarding dynamic range, the lights will break through with just a couple of stops of underexposure, and you can not recover even the shadows lot, 100 iso over 3 stop recovery appears enough noise. In any case, these are impressions of use and not technical data, there will be on-linemany other authoritative reviews and more reliable from the point of view of "scientific". rnConcludendo, the machine is an excellent solution for those looking for a lightweight and compact body that allows to not give up anything, and always brings good results at home. Why buy this, and not a a6300 or t2? For the Canon ecosystem that between lens and flash offers much more choice than they can do Sony and Fuji.

Pros: Building Smaller, faster,

Cons: rec button position for videos. Position of the slide button for diopter adjustment viewfinder.

Opinion: I have purchased the M5 to have an updated APSC body and, at the same time, exploit the optical canon kit. I bought the kit with 18-150 and I immediately purchased the 22 fixed. The quality of excellent image seems to me, as well as speed. For those who have normal or large hands, the arrangement of the small buttons on the back could present problems of inadvertent operation. I find the position of the button slide incredibly uncomfortable for the diopter adjustment viewfinder, under the rubber gasket and hampered in the drive by the upper edge of the touch screen. But a simple wheel, the side of the viewfinder ???

Pros: build quality, compact and lightweight, layout of controls, ISO held, AF fairly quick and accurate.

Cons: few, perhaps the quality of the optics "M", the display

Opinion: I have the M5 for a month and I did some test shots, if you need a compact and lightweight body is the one that makes the case vostrornribadisco everything I wrote in the PRO, add the battery than Sony Mirrorless lasts something more and that the touch display, after a little 'practice is really comodornnei against over to what is written add that the movable display has the positions that are uncomfortable, for example for self-portraits on easel ends there davanti.rndiscorso latter in part for the optical park it is true that Canon offers the adapter for the EF set to the camera, but if you want to keep the concept of compactness and lightness should use his "M" series that are valid not exceptional
