I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

I am actively learning to take pictures, including shooting at parkruns (organized Saturday park races). I rented this camera for one of them in order to make some relation to mirrorless cameras. The impressions are generally very positive, but it’s immediately clear that the camera is of a “beginner” level (in fact, it is a mirrorless analogue of the 800D), and I have outgrown this level in 2 months, and it makes no sense for me to buy one anymore - it’s better to wait for the release of the M5 Mark II .

I shot, in general, with two lenses: a whale EF-M 15-45 and my own EF-S 55-250 (via an adapter). 55-250 with an adapter looks like some kind of huge fool on such a small camera (it has a length of about 23.5 cm with a hood on and an extended trunk - this is more than 2 times the width of the camera, and you also need to add 2-3 cm from the adapter) . I specifically demonstrated this design to a colleague who is also thinking about a mirrorless camera to give him a visual idea of ​​​​how the use of DSLR optics on such cameras looks like in reality.

As for recommendations to buy - everything is complicated. If there is already a fleet of EF / EF-S optics, then it will cover the poor choice of native lenses quite well (but if there is such a fleet of optics, then why does its owner need an entry-level camera?). If you take it as the first decent camera, then the M50 should go in very well (although you don’t need to buy a whale at a relatively low price from 15-45 - an adapter for EF / EF-S is not included in the kit, and you will have to fork out for it separately).

Pros

1. Valid matrix. If you believe the DD measurements found on the network, then at ISO 100 you get more than 13 stops. Even at ISO 1250, you can get a frame of excellent quality (of course, here already under the condition of an almost perfectly correct exposure and a slight increase in the degree of noise reduction during post-processing in Canon DPP). 2. Good kit lens EF-M 15-45. It's a bit dark (f/6.3 at telephoto), but I personally didn't have any complaints about sharpness. And with it, the camera is at least reasonably compact (fits in the section of my backpack where I usually carry a flash). 3. Good ergonomics (like a small DSLR like my 1300D). It sits perfectly in my bony hand (although the camera is already too small for my rather large colleague). This also includes the ability to customize the interface so that it looks like a DSLR. 4. Integrated EVI (electronic viewfinder), bright and clear. 5. Folding screen - it just came to me, but for vloggers or selfie lovers, this is a very important feature. 6. High-speed continuous shooting - up to 10 frames per second (when bullying, ISO slows down, just like autofocus speed). 7. Able to set shutter speed in direct proportion to the focal length of the lens (at least when Auto ISO is on in Av and P modes). 8. You can reconfigure most of the buttons. 9. The presence of in-camera lens distortion correction (everything, not just vignetting) and in-camera RAW processing. 10. The presence of the Focus Peaking mode with manual focusing (this is the color illumination of sharp edges).

Cons

1. Only one wheel (in addition to the mode selector) - the one called the main one. The M5 has 4 of them. 2. Small buffer - I have even seen the number 7 in the lower right corner of the viewfinder when shooting in RAW (at ISO, but >= 2022). In reality, in such a situation, the camera slowed down the shooting only after about 10 frames, but this is still, well, just very little. 3. Unlike the M5 mentioned above, there is no electronically controlled flash up - just take your fingers on the ledges and raise it yourself. 4. This problem does not apply to the camera, but to the system as a whole: a poor choice of EF-M optics and loss of compactness when using EF / EF-S glasses through an adapter. Although if all native optics are comparable in quality to whale 15-45, then I would take a closer look at the 18-150 travel zoom and 22 width. 5. Disgustingly designed instructions - made by analogy with the instructions for soap dishes, and not for SLRs. The cost of the fact that Canon focuses the camera on those who have been shooting all their lives on automatic soap dishes and will be treated the same way with this camera (shooting exclusively in AUTO modes and, for the most advanced, SCN).
