GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Canon Mirrorless History & Ef-M Collectors — EOS M (2012): Canon's first mirrorless — a historic body that broke new ground with touch-AF and EF-M, but its sluggish contrast-detect system quickly became its Achilles heel.
Creative Film Shooters Who Want More From Their Half-Frame — Ektar H35N (2023): Everything the H35 was, plus a multiple-exposure mode that opens up a world of creative in-camera double exposures. The natural upgrade for H35 fans.
Who should buy what
EOS M (2012)
- Canon shooters who want the camera that started Canon's mirrorless story
