Canon takes a big step forward in the mirrorless camera market with the EOS M3, but it still lags behind the competition.

Sturdy, compact body. Tilting rear touch display. In-body flash. Wi-Fi with NFC. Mounts Canon SLR lenses via adapter.
-
-
EVF is an expensive add-on. Slow autofocus. Limited shooting buffer. Cramped controls.
At a time when many new cameras represent very minor updates over their predecessors, it's refreshing to discover just how much Canon has improved on the EOS M3. Pick it up and you'll notice the chunkier and more comfortable grip straightaway.

Good quality images and low noise., Tilting touchscreen., Wifi with NFC for sharing and remote control., Mic input and confident focusing for movies.
-
-
No built-in viewfinder., Servo AF slows burst shooting down., Poor battery life. Little warning before expiry., Very limited selection of native EF-M lenses., No panorama or timelapse facility built-in.
There’s no denying that the EOS M3 is a huge improvement on the original EOS M1 . To begin with it’s compact and impressively well made, with a control layout that makes it a pleasure to use.

Focusing speed and continuous shooting still behind competition; Lacking built-in viewfinder; Poor kits lens

24Mp APS-C format sensor, Excellent interface, Plenty of control

Limited EF-M mount lens range, Frustrating autofocus system, No viewfinder built-in

The Canon EOS M3 offers dSLR-quality photos and a nice design, but its feature set is average, performance is sluggish and its price relatively high, at least in the US and the UK.

A very well-designed mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, the EOS M3 offers high-quality photos.
-
-
It's slow, with a relatively limited feature set for the price.
With its focus on digital SLRs, Canon has been slower than its rivals in coming up with a solid mirrorless camera to fill a growing gap in the market. There’s a reason – Canon has produced more than 110 million interchangeable EF Lenses used with its EOS DSLR cameras.
I have a Canon 5D3, but I’ve always looked for a compact counterpart for situations where the DSLR is just not convenient enough. I’ve owned a series of Panasonic and Sony compacts with increasing telephoto zooms.
