Canon EOS M Makes It Into Canon Camera Museum

EOS M Makes It Into Canon Camera Museum

Yes, the Canon EOS M (price & specs) made it into the “design hall” of the Canon Camera Museum:

“Bringing the EOS concept into a mirrorless camera.”
This was the overall approach adopted by the design team for the EOS M camera, which comprised Seishiro Takano, who was responsible for the body and interchangeable lenses; Shingo Yamazaki, designer of the user interface; Megumi Inazumi, in charge of accessories and other parts; and Shosaku Kawashima, the team leader.

Mr. Kawashima – who sought to carry forward the speed, comfort, and picture quality of the EOS series – remained committed to the clear EOS advantage of imbuing a compact body with strength and durability. In other words, the goal was to develop a mirrorless compact camera that incorporated the DNA of EOS.
The design team set a high hurdle for themselves by setting out to combine miniaturization with increased functionality. As a result, all members of the team took on bold challenges in their respective assignments.

Canon EOS M DxOMark Scores Published

Canon EOS M DxOMark scores published. Not surprising: the Canon EOS M (prce & specs) scores lower than the Sony NEX 6 (price & specs) and the Olympus OM-D (price & specs). Surprising: the EOS M scores higher (slightly) than the Rebel T4i/EOS 650D (price & specs), both for color depth and low light ISO.

The title of the shot is “The Fifth Element”, it takes inspiration form sci-fi movies and high fashion. Chris used the following lenses for the shot:

Olympus OM-D EM-5 vs Canon EOS M Auto Focus Comparison

Yes, the EOS M’s AF is way slower than the EM-5’s AF. It’s a pity on an otherwise such well performing camera as the Canon EOS M. Tomek Kulas at M43.eu wanted to know how much slower than the EM-5. The video above shows a simple test: pointing both cams to the same subject and using touch-to-shoot.

Canon please give us a firmware update that fixes the issue!!
