That EVIL or mirrorless cameras have long ceased to be a curiosity, it 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 cameras for regular use. Because they are getting better, more competitive, better in focus, they have more accessories and better quality, etc. The EVIL have come to stay, don't doubt it. And since Canon knows this, it has finally decided to bet heavily on this field. After some criticism on his previous mirrorless models , it seems that, now, he has hit the mark ;-).
DIRECTED TO…
All those who want SLR features and style but in a smaller size and weight . The Canon EOS M5 is a brand bet 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 focusing, with exposure control on the upper dials, in short, the design is a clear nod to SLRs but in a reduced size.
So, if you are a beginner in photography and what you are looking for is a camera that allows you to put everything you have learned into practice and get the most out of it 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? ?
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
PRICE
With the objective of the kit: EF-M 15-45 S you can find it by N/Aon Amazon.
THE BEST
The design of this camera, a miniature SLR designed so that 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...), make the most of its potential, even allowing many to be customized. of them (specifically 12 dials).
They also highlight a much faster and improved focus compared to other models of the same brand, a good dynamic range , a good quality built-in viewfinder , as well as its tilting touch screen , a good level of sharpness and image quality and everything. This is 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 up 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 mirrorless cameras, or having to buy adapters or lenses that, on many occasions, are skyrocketing in price.

DRAWBACKS
It does not record 4K video and it 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 further pretensions.
Being a small camera, it works well with smaller lenses, larger lenses, logically, unbalance it. You can always take a look at a pancake or prime lenses like the king of lenses , the prince , a 35mm, etc.

CONCLUSIONS
Without a doubt, this camera is a good bet for anyone who is 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 ;-).
