Canon EOS M is the first mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by Canon.

DPReview noted that the EOS M is effectively a miniature version of the Canon EOS 650D, which was introduced in June 2012, with a simpler physical interface.[1] The letter M in EOS M stands for "mobility" and EOS means "electro-optical system".

It was replaced by the Canon EOS M2 in late 2013.

The Canon EOS M2 was replaced by the two cameras in 2015:

Design

The camera has a 3-inch touchscreen with support for multi-touch gestures such as pinch to zoom, swiping and tapping.[2] The camera uses an 18 megapixel APS-C sensor and a DIGIC 5 processor, similar to the Canon EOS 650D.[3]

The camera uses an EF-M lens mount which can accept Canon EF and EF-S lenses with an additional mount adapter. Four EF-M lenses,11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM, a 22mm f/2 STM pancake lens, an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and a 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM are available.[2]

The camera does not include a built-in flash, but launched with a dedicated Canon Speedlite 90EX, which will be a part of a bundle pack for this camera in some markets.[3] The camera is capable of supporting Standard Definition video at 30fps or 25fps, 720p HD video at 60fps or 50fps, and 1080p Full HD video at 30fps, 24fps or 25fps.

Firmware updates

On 27 June 2013, new firmware v2.0.2 was released and provided the following fixes and improvements:[4]

  • Improved focusing speed in One-Shot AF mode
  • Support for the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens
  • Correction of errors in the Simplified Chinese, Hungarian, Traditional Chinese and Korean language menus

The v2.0.2 firmware update "did in fact markedly improve the EOS M's speed" over the camera's initial firmware, but its autofocus performance was reportedly "still not as fast as many other compact system cameras" following the firmware update.[5]

Sales

The EOS M went on sale in the United States in October 2012 as a kit with an EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens with a list price of $799.99.[2][6]

In Canada, the camera went on sale with the EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens and flash.

In the European Union, the camera has been offered in three separate kits (all prices including VAT):[7]

  • EF-M 18–55mm: £770/€850 - (December 2013: around 400 Euro)
  • EF-M 22mm plus EF-mount adapter: £880/€1050 - (January 2014: plus Speedlite 90EX bundle, around 500 Euro)
  • "Twin kit" with both EF-M lenses: £950/€1130

Canon EOS M2

A new model (Canon EOS M2) was announced on December 2013. The camera is about 10% smaller than the first version, adds Wifi capabilities, and an improved autofocus system which Canon calls Hybrid CMOS AF II.[8] The EOS M2 comes with same sensor as used in Canon 100D / SL1 DSLR, the AF speed of EOS M2 is approx 2.3 times faster than Canon EOS M camera,[9] the continuous shooting mode is also slightly faster (4.6 vs 4.3 fps).

Canon EOS M3

Like its predecessor, the Canon EOS M2, the camera uses the Canon EF-M lens mount. However, the EOS M3 adds a number of new features, including a contoured grip, tilting LCD touchscreen, built-in pop-up flash and dedicated mode dial.[10][11][12] Internally, the EOS M3 sports a DIGIC 6 image processor, 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor, Hybrid CMOS AF III 49-point autofocus system, and integrated Wi-Fi and NFC enabling control of the camera via a smartphone app.[10][11]

The camera supports optional accessories including the Canon Speedlite line of external flashes and the EVF-DC1 external electronic viewfinder.[11][12]

Canon EOS M10

A new model (Canon EOS M10) was launched in December 2015 as a direct replacement for the (Canon EOS M2). The Canon EOS M10 offers an 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor, 3" 1.04M dot tilting touch screen LCD, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC and 1080/30p video recording. The Canon EOS M10 provides a built-in flash, but no viewfinder or hot shoe for an accessory unit. Its' Hybrid CMOS II AF' system gets an upgrade over the Canon EOS M2, jumping from 31 to 49 points. Its ISO range extends from 125 to a 25600 expansion. [13]
