Pros: Speed, sensor. dimensions

Cons: Aseptic

Opinion: I use it in combination with the various cheap fixed (16-28-35-50). With the 28mm it becomes a light and discreet compact and the image quality remains at the top. If I need more light I place the 35mm. The machine is good in everything and is perfect for its segment. The only negative note is that it remains a bit aseptic, there is nothing to complain about but nothing that you are passionate about in its use. However, what he has to do he does in an excellent way.

Pros: Power, size, sensor, versatility

Cons: Energy-intensive, few keys and dials (compared to its older sisters), it overheats easily, no IBIS

Opinion: Very small camera, combined with the excellent pancake RF 28mm f/2.8 becomes practically a perfect compact to carry around, while maintaining the excellent performance of the sensor. Lightning-fast autofocus and if well set practically foolproof. The files are excellent, workable and the colors are those to which canonists are accustomed. Unfortunately, portability involves some sacrifices, in fact there is no joystick, and the dials are only 2, a problem that can be partially remedied thanks to the control ring of the RF lenses. The memory slot is single, and the battery is the LP-E17 which in my opinion is slightly undersized on such an energy-intensive camera (600-700 shots, with the upper bodies I get over 1000). The small body also leads to worse heat dissipation, in fact the chamber sometimes tends to heat up easily, especially under stress in intense sessions. The viewfinder is obviously small and not top-of-the-range. Despite these compromises, the image quality is excellent, and overall it is a camera that is loved and thanks to the minimal footprint it entices you to always carry it with you.

Pros: Compact, good level of completeness of functionality, versatility and customization. Excellent ISO range, appreciable sensor with the right lens.

Cons: Extremely energy-intensive and picky in the cable - power supply combination for USB charging. Price (applies to all ML in my opinion) exaggerated.

Opinion: Was there a need, Canon, to make another attack? In my humble opinion: no. Very disappointed by the autonomy: 300 shots and possibly without using the display, liveview or pretending to transfer the shots via bluetooth. I had to use it in airplane mode to finish the day. I was used, with the same battery, on the 77D, to take about 400 shots in each mode, even sometimes using the built-in flash and then still having the opportunity to transfer photos wirelessly. Apart from that (which is by no means secondary) and apart from the fact that I found it quite difficult to understand the point of maximum polarization of the light both via display and viewfinder... good but not very good. The biggest advantage is owning a fullframe ML without having to sell a kidney. I still don't understand this mania of changing position to levers, switches and buttons but you get used to it, in the end it is not a defect but a feature.

Pros: Compact and lightweight, accurate, fast and programmable AF, great sensor, electronic shooting, USB charging

Cons: viewfinder not of great quality, lack of IBIS, it is not possible to assign all menu functions to buttons, continuous shooting speed adjustment

Opinion: I've been using it for over 6 months, after years with the M5. In terms of weight we are there, the dimensions slightly increase but it is definitely more ergonomic in use, especially if coupled with lenses of not exactly compact dimensions. The jump was remarkable especially on the AF side. Now I can really use the servo AF combined with face/eye recognition, which for my use seems perfect (I can't really imagine what more the higher models can do). I'm mainly using it paired with EF lenses with adapter, such as the 100 2.0 and the Sigma 150 2.8 macro. Contrary to my past experiences, I am finding myself photographing mainly sports (youth football). The camera surprised me with its ability to lock on to the subject, making even the sigma macro a sports lens! Almost always set with an electronic shutter, I had no particular problems with rolling shutter, I had to trash only a couple of shots out of a few thousand because the balloon was obviously oval. I'll be lucky that the kids aren't very fast, but for now it's great and I'll continue to use it like this. Even the deterioration on the quality side of the file in this mode I did not encounter, on the contrary, the quality of the images seems excellent, both on the noise side at high iso and for malleability in post production. Direct charging via USB is very convenient, which is working with all the chargers I already used for smartphones and notebooks. Looking for some flaw... the viewfinder looks the same as the M5. I'm used to it, it works, but if it were a little bigger and more resolute it would be a great achievement. And its dynamic range isn't great either. The IBIS is missing, which other brands now put on the entire range. You can live without it, but many of the lenses I have are not stabilized, so the IBIS would have been handy in some situations. Of course, the battery is small, but you get used to having a spare. And after all, I prefer the compactness and lightness of the body. The only critical situation is if you use the stand a lot, in which case changing the battery becomes inconvenient. I find the layout of buttons and dials comfortable. I spent days trying to customize them and then go back to the standard, using the FV function with the two wheels and the mfn button I don't need anything else. Here the mfn key could be a little bigger. While what I would have liked to include in the buttons (e.g. electronic/mechanical shutter release, or the activation of lens corrections) it is not possible to do so and it remains necessary to go to the menu (fortunately there is a customizable page). Finally, the last thing I don't like is the inability to set the continuous shooting speed. Only the standard, H and H+ are available; with speeds of 5, 20 and 40 fps. In my case 5 is a bit little, but 20 is excessive, 40 we don't talk about. Somewhere in between, around 10fps would have been perfect for me. In conclusion, I'm really enjoying it. it's very comfortable and I was able to do things that I couldn't do with the M5 (just as easily at least). So a good purchase for me, having broadened my photographic horizons. Of course it is the result of many compromises, but for my way of using it, the qualities far outweigh the defects.

Pros: Autofocus, intuitiveness, dynamic range, high ISO performance, electronic burst, complete customization of controls

Cons: No first mechanical curtain (useful only as sensor protection during lens change), very small body

Opinion: A car that I find extraordinary for the quality / price ratio, since, net of discounts and offers, you can take it home for 1200-1400 euros. The sensor is really excellent, with a flood of dynamic range and a truly fantastic recovery of the lights. The autofocus is the highlight of the camera - it has nothing to envy to any flagship. Also interesting is the burst capacity (in electronic shutter mode) up to 40 shots per second, with active af. Among the non-stacked sensors, this is the one with the fastest readout, and the rolling shutter occurs quite rarely, except with very fast moving subjects. So, on the performance front, I can absolutely complain about this camera. About the body, obviously there are shortcomings, including the absence of stabilization on the sensor and the presence of a single storage slot, but these are things known to those who buy this machine. On the other hand, the controls are completely customizable and, between the two rings of the body plus that of the lens, I don't feel the lack of further direct controls; I access the menu quite rarely. Batteries do not have a large capacity. As for overheating problems, I didn't find any. I don't do birdlife but, in a portrait session of about forty minutes, with the camera always on, I didn't have the slightest problem. Personally, I am in love with this machine, and I find that in this price range there is nothing better.
