I am seriously interested in this camera but my ID was hacked. All my credit cards are shut down. Should be reissued next week.

If you have a lot of canon glass that you’re wanting to adapt anyways (since it’s not the ef-m mount) you’d be better off with another brand (yes I read the original post) and using a metabones adapter with a Sony or Panasonic. Simply put Canon mirrorless cameras are nowhere near what the other mirrorless manufacturers can do. But hey it’s your money...just know that there are much better choices out there to be used with your current lenses.


Thanks for your input. I agree it is my money but what I can't get passed is buying an adapter that is nearly as expensive as the camera. From what I have seen metabones adapters cost between $400 and $700.

PHR is correct, you need an EF to EF-M adapter to use your lenses. I don't have the M5 but I do have the less expensive and arguably superior M50 and I use my EF lenses with the adapter. The camera works great and my only problem with it is size. I'm use to something a bit larger but I'm getting use to it.
Consider the M50 over the M5. It's less expensive, has 4K, the digic 8 processor, a tiltier (not a real word but should be) tilt screen and several other features the more expensive and older M5 does not have.

Thanks for your input. I understand the M50 is a less expensive option but it has features that really do not interest me, such as 4K video and the tiltier screen. I do like that the M5 has two control dials.

I have 30 days for return if it does not appeal to me. As far as weight & size, it's fabulous. I have a hard time shooting anything with any camera other than my two Canon DSLR's (5D MIII & 7D MII). However, their size & weight when my L lenses are mounted, are prohibitive. I'm 81 and still kicking!!

I fully understand the weight issue. I am nearly 74 and lugging a slr or two and lenses around is becoming problematic. That is why I started looking at a lighter alternative. Although I doubt I totally abandon my slrs, especially my EOS 3.

Thanks for the video. From what I've read this review agrees with most of the others. It seems that the M50 is aimed primarily to the entry level market. Although it does have some advanced features. The 4K video issue is of no concern to me. I wish they would make cameras without video added. I haven't needed video for the 64 years I have been into photography and I don't need it now.

I'm trying out the new Canon M50. It's a very cool camera. I bought it with two kit lenses, an adapter so I can use my Canon EF lenses and one more lens. (10 - 22 mm). Testing it for my River Cruise in August. I'm away now but will return in 11 days. The M50 is back home. I'll continue exploring it upon my return. Reviews are very good.

Thanks for your input. Please let us know how it works out for you and post some pictures. I like that you mentioned a 10-22 as that is one of my favorite lenses.

I have an M5 and think it’s a great camera. It is a tad small but I am 6’ 4” with large hands. I also have the Canon EF / EFs adapter and it works perfectly with all my canon glass.


Thanks for you input. I too am 6'4" and the small size is a concern. My every day go everywhere camera is a Canon G15. It's size is miniscule compared to my slrs with battery grips. But I am glad to hear of your positive experience.

Hello Buckeye, I have looked at the M5 and the M50 2 weeks ago, the M5 is a solid metal body camera and the M50 plastic. Like the M50 for it's articulating screen over the M5's but that is about it. I know you said not interested in other makers but Fujifilm is coming out with a compact mirror less called the XT100, reminds me of the M5. You can always use a adapter for your glass with it.


Thanks for the info. I have looked at other options but I guess I am just an old Canon snob. I have been shooting Canon since I gave up my OM 1 for something with auto focus in the 80's. Eyesight kinda went to hell on me, now blind in my left eye which had been my shooting eye since I started this in the 50"s. I am in no hurry to make a decision so I am sure I will weigh all the options before pulling the trigger. The M50 seems to be a viable alternative to the M5, but let's see what Canon, and everyone else, brings out in the near future.

A friend of mine had that camera body with a couple of the lenses made for it. Then he wanted some focal lengths that were not offered for the M series and bought some high end Canon Zooms for it and an adapter. Works fine, but defeated the purpose of having a small camera body. So he sold the M5 with the 2 lenses he had and bought an 80D. The larger camera body handled the larger lenses without an adapter, and the feel was better in his hands. He's happy now. Those mirrorless cameras are mostly about size and weight. If you look at the lens lineup for that M5 and don't think you are going to need or want some of the larger focal lengths then go for it.

Thanks for your input. I know the M series lens selection is limited. I'm not sure I would buy any of them. My lens selection ranges from 10mm to 500mm. As I said in another post, I m mostly concerned about walking around weight with a 35, 50 or 10-22.

Buckeye - this may not be an answer to your question - but ...

As I understand it, the M series cameras are quite good, and as in all cameras, good technique will contribute a lot to the final product. The thing that gets me (also aging and not liking carrying a lot of gear around) is that if you want to use your existing glass your final carry-on-the-shoulder weight is only going to be a few ounces less than a "crop" sensor camera body once you add in the adaptor's weight. If you're currently using "L" glass, the percentage difference in weight is minuscule. The difference *is* there, but not great. I would perhaps wait until the Canon mirrorless comes out (early 2019?), but at this point no-one is quite sure what their mount will be - or whether it is (they are?) going to be FF or APSc. (In the last case, why not consider one of the really good "G" series as a wait-and-see camera? They're technically point-and-shoot, but they're damned good!)

Not a direct answer, but I hope it helps.

Thanks for your opinion. I understand what you are saying about weight. I am more concerned with walking around weight. Camera plus 50mm or 35mm or 10-22mm lets say. For landscape, wildlife and macro I will continue to use a tripod so weight is not as big an issue.
BTW, I carry a G15 with me almost everywhere.
