This camera is priced well, it is small and lightweight, and it takes incredible pictures. Simple as that! Recommended highly, I've been using Canon cameras for 26 years. It is better than my AE1 Program, better than my EOS 630, and the Canon software makes your pictures be all that they can be. The price at Amazon is terrific!!! Don't forget the 8GB SD card. That price is great too, might as well buy 2 of them! Only one problem found, if you want to call it that, my non-canon auto focus lens for my EOS 630 WILL NOT work on this camera. But the Canon auto focus lens will.Happy Shooting

I read this comprehensive review before purchase and you should too:http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-eos-m/canon-eos-mA.HTMI'm an amatuer photog for more than 40 years. Until recently, my only concession to digital photography was the purchase of inexpensive Canon point-n-shoots. As film photography has become a greater burden and digital has caught up in terms of quality while surpassing in convenience and affordability, my discovery of this little gem at a bargain price was perfect timing. Adding a $15 adapter, I can use may ancient but excellent FD mount Canon lenses - think F1 and AE-1 cameras. Auto-focus speed doesn't matter to me because I still prefer to manually set almost everything. That said, the AF performance of the EOS M seems equivalent to that of my son's Nikon 1.My purchases for my entry into serious digital photography to date include: the EOS M with Speedlite 90EX and EOS M 18-55mm IS lense: an SD card (PNY 64 GB High Speed SDXC Class 10): a spare battery (Opteka LP-E12 LPE12 2000mAh Battery Pack): a lense adapter (Fotasy Canon FD Lens to EOS M Lens); and a neck strap (OP/TECH USA System Connector Super Pro A).

Using this adapter on my Canon M50m2. Auto focus and all settings work just as they should. For $40 this is a very fairly priced piece of kit and is used every day.

I recently received my EOS-M and have had a few days to work with it in several different lighting environments. For what it is, it s an excellent camera. But if you are buying this hoping that I will be a cheaper 5d mk ii or 7d, then you didn't pay attention to the purpose of this camera.First, lets make sure we are clear about something... This is an amazing, full-featured camera that allows you to work with all of your EF and EF-S lenses in full manual mode (or auto if people still do that). And so we are clear, it has the same sensor and overall image quality as the revered Canon 7d and the new 650d. Yet the EOS-M body is the size of a small point & shoot! I think it is disappointing that this camera has received such negative reviews. I honestly believe that people must have had high expectations, hence they set themselves up to be let down.As others have mentioned, the shortcoming of this camera is the auto focus. You won't have much luck shooting sports or any fast moving activites using the camera's auto focus. It's just too slow for those applications. However, it is fine for nature photography, event photography, candid portraits, etc. You might miss a few "moments" here and there waiting an extra 1/4 - 1/2 second for the auto focus to do its thing, but again, this isn't billed as being super fast like the modern DSLR cameras we have grown accustomed to. This is about extreme portability without sacrificing image quality...That said, I've shot with the 50mm f1.2 L as well as the 24-105mm f4 IS L and the camera performed good, better than satisfactory, with each of those lenses. I was even using the 50mm 1.2 at night in a strip mall parking lot... Had no problem pulling focus what so ever. I was actually pleasantly surprised!I'm happy with my purchase. I did not buy it for sports or action photography... I bought it as a 2nd camera to use for travel, hiking, parties, and as another camera angle for my video projects. This is the camera that I'll be taking to parties, happy hour gatherings, etc. And it will be on a video tripod with a nice L series lens at every live concert and wedding I shoot.You need to really evaluate your needs. This camera surely isn't for everybody, but if the shoe fits, it is an amazing little machine!

Bought this to add to the 15-55 zoom because at f2, it's fast glass. It's come in handy in very low light situations in which I often find myself. Also, it's diminutive size makes the EOS M a pocket camera... if you have fairly large pockets.Build quality is up to typical Canon standards and will continuously auto-focus, which comes in handy as I shoot almost exclusively in video mode. As has been noted elsewhere, the EOS M's auto-focus hunts a lot and with this lens it's no different. I generally focus manually.One thing that surprised me is that this lens doesn't have image stabilization which means that shooting video handheld is right out unless you're very steady-handed. I was planning to use the lens for mostly shooting interviews on sticks so it's not an issue for me.As a great value for really fast glass, I'd recommend this lens

I am using this lens for Canon M50 Camera. You will need EOS adapter. I have attached 3 photos taken with this lens.

My EOS-M came with the firmware update already installed, so I cannot speak to the problems with focus, etc. I saw it as a great deal on a slightly better than point-and shoot camera. After seeing my dad's Nikon point and shooter I started looking for one that had all the features I wanted. Along the way I also started looking at updating my DSLR (Canon EOS Rebel T2i) for one with more advanced features. At some point I noticed the EOS-M. I read the reviews and it seems there was a problem with the focus on early models, and it seems word got out, because Canon slashed the price. At some point they updated the firmware and fixed the focus problem, but it looks like the damage was done. The first few hits on Google all pointed out the focus problem, even though it had been fixed.I bought it mainly for shooting video and for quick "snapshot" shooting, both tasks it performs well. I use a Sennheiser MKE 400 shotgun mic mounted to the hot shoe for audio, with very good results. It is able to find faces and track them across the scene and maintain focus fairly well. Shooting in low light is very good, but like any camera, the more light the better the image. If you're used to Canon DSLRs you'll have no problem navigating the menus and buttons.The lens adapter that lets you use DSLR lenses is nice, but very expensive when compared to the (now low) price of the camera. It does not allow for remote control. This is a real shame, because mating this to an app like DSLR Controller (in the Google Play Store) would be nearly perfect. There is a hacker community formed around this camera and they've released custom firmware that makes it more functional for video and film shooting.I really hope Canon continues to produce this line. Other manufacturers have similar cameras but if you're invested in Canon optics this is the only way to go.

As a Canon DSLR shooter this adapter is a must for owning the EOS M. It's really the only reason why I bought the EOS M. I love the 22mm f2 that comes with it, but being able to use my nearly $10k worth of lens on this makes it a steal. I believe without this adapter the camera is very limited. The adapter fits the camera and lens nicely. I personally feel that the lense attaching to the EOS M feels strange, tight compared to all my DSLRs, but this adapter and lens are snug once attached, and that's what matters.
