Canon EOS M5
The Canon EOS M5 was a significant step forward for the EF-M system — the first EOS M camera with a built-in EVF, giving it the handling and versatility of a more traditional mirrorless. Its 24.2MP APS-C Dual Pixel CMOS sensor delivers fast, accurate autofocus, and the 3.2" high-resolution articulating touchscreen is one of the best Canon produced for the range. A 9fps burst rate handles moderate action, and the deep grip makes it feel more assured than other EF-M bodies. The M5 lacks IBIS and tops out at 1080p/60p video — keeping it in the enthusiast stills category rather than hybrid shooting. For photographers who want the best EF-M handling experience without the M6 Mark II's resolution premium, the M5 is an excellent used-market option.
The EOS M5 was the first EF-M camera with a built-in EVF — and it made the system feel complete. Fast Dual Pixel AF, a 9fps burst, and a high-resolution articulating screen deliver a confident shooting experience. No IBIS and 1080p video only limit its appeal for hybrid work, but for stills photographers it remains one of the most well-rounded EF-M bodies available.
