Easy to use, works well, basically "plug and play" - like the lens cover (ensure it's not filming).

I bought the camera two weeks ago to use as a carry around camera with great image quality. Not satisfied with a point and shoot sensor, I was impressed with the image quality from this APS-C sensor, especially in low light. I am getting usable images at ISO 5000 with great color reproduction and no need for noise reduction! It is much better in low light than my Canon EOS 7D. This a great inconspicuous camera that doesn't really need a flash. I have used the Canon 580 EXII flash on the EOS-M and although it is twice as big as the camera, it produces well balanced flash exposures with full flash control available on the camera's touch screen. The touch screen interface takes some getting used to if you are coming from the 35mm SLR world. This camera is not designed to be all things to all people or the only camera one should have; but the ability to use full sized Canon lenses with the adapter is a compelling factor.For those complaining about the slow focusing, turn off the continuous autofocus feature in the main menu and it focuses much faster. Focus modes are AF/MF/AF+MF, continuous/off, one shot/servo, face+tracking/flexizone area/flexizone spot. Finding the right combination of focus modes is critical to your shooting style. The 22mm f/2 lens is slower to focus with it's very narrow depth of field but it is a sharp lens. Focusing is much faster with the 18-55 3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. With my vision I find focusing easier with the touch screen than with viewfinders.I have not fully tested the video capability with the EOS-M but it does feature HD video with continual autofocus and focus tracking during video. It has a 3.5 jack for external microphones.There are several auto scene modes basically available for jpeg only shooting like HDR backlight control that will take a 3 shot bracketed series and blend them in camera into one image. You can use auto bracketing in RAW mode and process the images yourself. There is also a multi-shot noise reduction mode available for jpeg shooting along with handheld night scene mode (multi-shot). I have tested these modes and they work as advertised. I prefer RAW shooting and process my own bracketed images.The naysayers are wrong concerning this camera. They either haven't taken the time to learn the camera or haven't tried it at all. It is a great portable camera with excellent image quality. If I had to criticize one feature it would be the battery life. A touch screen camera uses a lot of power and to keep this camera small, a small battery was needed. You will want to buy a second battery for a full day of shooting.

These are as good as (or better) than my friends $300 goggles. The replacement / alternative color lens are reasonably priced as well.

I just received my xenvo lens, and let me tell you how easy it was to use! It comes with access to a video with very explicit directions on how to use the lens, very simple and straight forward. The way you access the videos is super cool! I have an iPhone XR with a slim case and the lens attached easily and worked extremely well. I’m a novice photographer, but I was pleased with how my pictures looked. It does take some adjusting to get the lens centered so the pictures look well focused, but this is an easy fix and the videos describe how best to do this. It also came with a surprise light to help improve the quality of your pictures! I showed my dad the lens and even though he is not tech savvy, was able to figure out how to use it fairly quickly and now he wants one of his own! I was blown away with the customer service - I received a few emails with what to expect when my lens came, a little about the company, and an offer to reach out with any questions. This made it feel like not just another amazon purchase, but a purchase from a smaller company I’m happy to support!

Needed the replacement after dropping my Osmo and cracked the lens cover.This replacement fits perfect as expected.

Easy to assemble. Works great. The Barlow lens came broken. But everything else was in great working order.

I am an amateur who wants to feel like they are on their way to a professional. This lens helped with that process. Love it!

Like many, I had hoped that Canon would make a replacement version for the original 24-105 for some time. Having owned and used that lens for years on lower resolution cameras, I found it to be a good general purpose event lens and really appreciated the focal range. It was not as sharp as my 24-70 2.8 II, but I really liked have the extra reach at the long end and the IS.The new lens (this item) arrived last week and I've been out photographing with it on my 5D MkIV and wanted to test the IS capability and overall sharpness as I will use it, mostly handheld. I was anticipating it to be a bit sharper, edge illumination to be better, and the IS to be more effective, and I'm very happy to report that on all counts I am very pleased with this new lens. I find it a worthwhile improvement on all counts, and a bonus that the lens zooms in and out smoothly for better video compared to V1. Overall it is what I was hoping for and I am very pleased and glad it finally arrived. (I understand that the earthquakes in Japan many months ago set back production of some products, causing the delay.) For the money I think it's a great value and a overall a great lens.
