Seen at WPPI – Canon M5
10th March 2017
Canon’s Latest Mirrorless
|
|
|
| This past February at the Wedding and Portrait Photography International Conference & Expo, I stopped at the Canon booth to take a look at the company’s new M5 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. | |
|
|
|
| Canon is best known for their full featured DSLR cameras. Although I own several high end DSLRs from both Canon and Nikon, I’ve been a devoted user of mirrorless cameras for at least five years owing to the compact size and electronic viewfinder that I highly value.
Sony has been a leader in the mirrorless realm with Fujifilm, Panasonic and Olympus close behind. Canon has been playing catch up with its M series for a couple of years. I now consider the M5 a strong contender. The new M5 now uses a 24MP sensor with Dual Pixel AF for faster and more precise autofocus. This is Canon’s first M series with built-in viewfinder. The M5 combines in-camera digital and optical lens stabilization. The tilting LCD has doubles as a touchscreen. And the camera has a built-in flash. |
 This is the Canon M5 with the 18-150mm EF-M lens. |
|
|
|
 The tilting LCD also functions as a touchscreen. Touch the screen to activate focus manually. |
 As you can see the M5 has a convenient, dedicated exposure compensation dial. |
|
|
|
| The M5 also captures full HD 60p movies in MP4 format. The touchscreen can be used during video operations to affect focus.
The camera includes Wi-fi and NFC capabilities as well as bluetooth to send images to a smartphone. The suggested price of Canon M5 with 15-45mm EF-M lens is $1099. The suggested price of the Canon M5 with the 18-150mm EF-M lens is $1479. For more information about the M5, please visit Canon. |
