Given that Canon is a market leader in point and shoots and DSLRs, you'd expect them to dominate the mirrorless middle ground. Despite testing the waters with the EOS M and EOS M2, Canon seems to be no closer to a mature mirrorless strategy.But Canon desi...
  • Swing and a miss Any shopper could be forgiven for reading the M3's spec sheet and concluding that it's a great bargain. But the fact of the matter is that the EOS M3 falls far short of the sum of its parts. It's got a lot of impressive pieces of tech...

Canon was late to the CSC party, launching the original EOS M in 2012 and following up with the (Japan-only) EOS M2 in 2013. So, for UK shooters, the EOS M3 is the true successor to the original and is competing in a busy sector, occupied by many other br...

Part of the problem was that the EOS M behaved like an EOS 650D that was stuck permanently in live view mode – and the 650D's live view mode was slow and unwieldy. The Canon EOS 750D is actually pretty good in live view mode, so it bodes well for the EOS...

This 24 megapixel compact mirrorless camera is Canon's third try at the compact system form and it stands with the best. The kit lens is mechanically and optically fine, especially considering the price. The camera body is beautifully made and feels well...
  • The image quality, both in jpeg and RAW, is excellent. Up to ISO 3200 noise is not an issue. Even jpegs have fine noise reduction that doesn't degrade the image and when the large 24 million pixel image is reduced to A4 size for printing noise is invisibl...

The EOS M3 isn't as wide and thick as most APS-C interchangeable-lens cameras, which gives it a compact, 'cute' look that almost makes you want to give it a hug. Add to that a good grip and a nicely shaped thumb rest, and you get comfortable, reassuring h...

The EOS M3 also shares some key components with the simultaneously-released EOS 760D and EOS 750D, notably its sensor, image processor and the 49-point Hybrid CMOS III autofocusing system. The latter includes phase detection pixels on the imager chip and...
  • Although the EOS M3 is better configured for photo enthusiasts, the lack of a built-in EVF remains a serious barrier to its acceptance as a serious enthusiast's or pro photographer's camera – even as a back-up body. The small buffer capacity for raw files...
