Camera Overview — Canon EOS M5

The Canon EOS M5 is a compact mirrorless camera built around a 24.2 MP APS-C sensor and powered by the DIGIC 7 image processor. It offers a native ISO range of 100–25600, giving shooters flexibility across varied lighting conditions. The autofocus system combines Dual Pixel AF, Phase Detection, and Face Detection AF across 49 focus points, with subject tracking included — making it well-suited for capturing moving subjects.

Burst shooting reaches up to 9 fps, which is competitive for an APS-C mirrorless body in this class. The viewfinder is an OLED EVF with a 2,360,000-dot resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, providing a clear and responsive shooting experience. The rear display is a 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen LCD at 1,620,000 dots, offering flexible framing angles.

Video captures at Full HD (1920x1080) with frame rate options spanning 24fps through 60fps and color profiles including Standard, Cinema, and Neutral. Connectivity is broad, covering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Micro HDMI, a 3.5mm microphone jack, and USB. The body is constructed from polycarbonate and magnesium alloy, measures 116 x 89 x 61 mm, and weighs 427g.

Note that there is no weather sealing. The camera uses the Canon EF-M lens mount and accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards.
