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.
Documentary & Street — M11-P (2023): The M11-P is the M11 made more discreet and verifiable — all-black with no logo, and the world's first camera with Content Credentials built in. The same 60MP rangefinder brilliance as the M11, with added significance for documentary and journalistic work where image authenticity cannot be disputed.
Who should buy what
EOS M (2012)
- Canon shooters who want the camera that started Canon's mirrorless story

M11-P (2023)
- Documentary photographers and photojournalists who need provable image authenticity
- Street photographers who want the most discreet M-series camera ever produced
