Canon EOS M5 review by Amateur Photographer website
5

I thought I'd share for whoever is interested the Canon EOS M5 review by the website amateurphotographer.co.uk. The review seems overall favorable (overall score 4/5).

Major Pros according to them are:

- Superb control layout and handling for such a small camera

- Excellent image quality in both JPEG and raw

- Works extremely well with a wide range of EF-mount SLR lenses

- Easy-to-use wireless communication using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Major cons according to them are:

- Relatively small and over-contrasty electronic viewfinder

- No fully electronic silent shutter option (excerpt from the review)

- Shutter is noisier than most mirrorless rivals

- Price is very high

- The 7fps mode doesn’t offer live view between frames, showing just a sequence of previously taken frames (excerpt from the review)
