CANON EOS M5: AN EVIL WITH AIRES (AND BENEFITS) BY SLR

CANON EOS M5: AN EVIL WITH AIRES (AND BENEFITS) BY SLR

That EVIL or mirrorless cameras have long since ceased to be a curiosity, is evident. The number of brands that have joined this type of mirrorless cameras as well as the number of photographers who have done much more than give them a chance, have undoubtedly turned them into commonly used cameras. Because they are getting better, more competitive, better in focus, they have more accessories and better quality, and so on. The EVIL have come to stay, do not hesitate. And as Canon knows, he has finally decided to bet heavily on this field. After some criticism in his previous mirrorless models , it seems that, now, he has hit right ;-).

DIRECTED TO…

All those who want performance and SLR style but in smaller size and weight . The Canon EOS M5 is a bet of the brand for all those photographers who dream of a good level of control and great images but carrying little weight , without losing any of the advantages of the SLR. It has customizable dials, it is robust (although very light), with a touch screen, folding, fast in focus, with exposure control in the upper dials, in short, the design is a clear nod to the SLR but in small size. So, if you are an initiate in photography and what you are looking for is a camera that allows you to put into practice everything learned and squeeze all its potential without having to carry a heavy camera, go ahead, this may be your camera. And above all, very important, if you come from Canon, this camera is compatible with all EF-S mount lenses. Not bad, huh?

THE BEST

The design of this camera, a miniature SLR designed for all those who enjoy and take advantage of the characteristics of the SLR at the level of performance and design (placement and type of dials, robustness ...), express their full potential, allowing even customize many of them (specifically 12 dials). Also highlight a focus much faster and improved over other models of the same brand, a good dynamic range a built -in viewer of good quality as well as its tactile and folding screen , a good level of sharpness and image quality and all this in a camera that can be operated with one hand. And, for me, a decisive factor: the possibility of adapting Canon EF-S lenses, which opens the possibilities to infinity (or almost), since it is usually a but (less and less, but in some brands it is ) the lack of variety in the lenses compatible with these cameras without a mirror, or the need to buy adapters or lenses that, in many cases skyrocket in price.

DRAWBACKS

It does not record video in 4K and is not the strong point of this camera. If you want it for video, it is not your ideal model, although it will be more than enough to record videos without more pretensions. Being a small camera, it works well with smaller lenses, the more bulky lenses logically decompensate it. You can always take a look at a pancake or fixed focal points like the king of the targets , the prince , a 35mm, and so on.

CONCLUSIONS

Without a doubt, this camera is a good bet for everyone in love with SLR cameras but tired of their weight. Having the same features, a design inspired by them and also having all the advantages of an EVIL in terms of size, weight and flexibility is not something we find every day ;-). What do you think? Not bad, huh? I hope you liked this analysis of the Canon EOS M5. If so, please share it so that our work arrives and helps more people. Thank you and see you next time.
