Canon EOS M5 Review: A Powerhouse Mirrorless Camera That Might Just Replace Your Pro DSLR
C. de LacyFor those looking for a Canon camera that can actually provide some serious professional features without the bulk of a DSLR, the Canon EOS M5 might just be the perfect match and more.
For those have always followed the M series of Canon Mirrorless camera line, the latest model, which is the EOS M5, is one beautiful camera that has almost everything that a budding professional and enthusiast could want for a professional camera.
In paper, the camera has an APS-C CMOS Sensor that can capture images up to 24 megapixels. It also has a crystal clear 3.2-inch vari-angle touchscreen with ultra high resolution clarity with 1,620,000 dots. Something that is extremely rare even with professional high-grade DSLRs.
Despite not having an optical viewfinder, the electronic viewfinder gets the job done so well with its 120 frames per second refresh rate. If anything, this might even be better with the optical ones as it partially shows how the image will be produced right out of the camera and a lot of people believes that the human eye can pretty much only conceive 60 frames per minute. That is subjective, but to cut it short, the electronic viewfinder attached to this camera is way above average.
While it is not as big as professional DSLRs, it is also quite an upsize compared to the traditional point-and-shoot and even compared with the bridge cameras. Still, it has amazing features that high-end DSLRs possess;
49-point AF system
Phase-detection points built onto sensor
One-shot AF and Servo AF
7fps burst shooting with AF
295-shot battery life
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
ISO100-25,600
Built-in low-pass filter
+/-3 EV exposure compensation in 1/3 or 1/2-stop increments
There's some serious amount of detail to the images, which can be comparable with higher-end DSLRs and even more so with its competitors like the Sony a6300 or the Panasonic GX8. Still, the lack of a 4K video mode is a bit of a disappointment, especially to those who would like to take advantage of the technology.
Still, its 1080p videos can still produce up to crisp 60 frames per second footage, which should be more than good enough for general use.
As for the price, the Canon EOS M5 may be a bit costly with its $1,099.00 price tag, especially when compared with the mentioned camera models, but for those who have always been familiar with the brand, expect the Canon EOS M5 to deliver a powerhouse performance.
