Another review

Images directly from the EOS M5 are great, and it’s certainly on a par with other compact system cameras in those terms.

Now that Magic Lantern gave us continous RAW recording in other consumer Canon cameras (in 10 or 12 bit), this camera can be very fun to shoot with c-mount and many other lenses!

TOKYO, November 2, 2016—Canon Inc. announced today that the Company’s Powershot G5 X premium digital compact camera was recognized for design excellence by the Hong Kong Design Centre,* winning a DFA Design for Asia Awards Bronze Award.

The Powershot G5 X is equipped with a 1.0 inch large-format CMOS sensor and a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF). The award-winning compact camera offers intuitive controls afforded by such design features as multiple dials enabling the selection of a range of shooting settings and an electronic dial on the front of the camera.

Canon has submitted entries to the DFA Design for Asia Awards since 2013 and, since that time, has been awarded one Silver Award, three Bronze Awards, and one Merit Award for such products as Cinema EOS System professional cinematography equipment, video camcorders, cameras and interchangeable lenses. Encouraged by this latest industry recognition, Canon will continue striving to create products that combine the highest levels of performance and design excellence.

Seems like video quality from EOS M5 is worse than 80D

Why do you think so?

Sensor and LSI are same. Just restricted things by firmware a little.

I love it that the DPReview guy says it's the best EOS M in the series, like describing the best looking turd in the sandbox.

Yeah, the color on all the Panasonics is a little weird but it gets better and better--you can grade it, of course. There were green shifts, magenta shifts, yellow highlights, all kinds of stuff. They all have similar problems, and they are all slightly different. In general, there is a color cast of some kind, and if you zero it out the skin tones are off. The main thing is a lot of the skin tones just look pasty and chalky, like cheap pizza. The Sony color is also getting better and now it is better than Panasonic and there is hardly any difference to Canon, it's really close. The Fuji color is really very good, the Samsung camera is not as good. The Sony a6300 has the best sharpness/color/still photo balance if you want it all in one cam, unless you go full frame, although, I have not tried the LS300 (it looks softer than the a6300 in samples, but you never know). BUT the Sony overheats so that is unacceptable, without a big fan.
I have tried The Voigtlander super fast lenses--they aren't sharp wide open like the Olly 75 or even the Sigma 60 (surprisingly sharp lens). Even stopped down, nothing in the 4/3 camp is a sharp as the Sony a6300.

Look, I have mostly Panasonics, they don't overheat and they have gotten better and better. And the quality compared to five years ago is amazing.

So I would love to see Canon make something, but they lost their way. I would love to see Sony put out an a6300 Mark II with passive cooling that works and a few more options.

I always liked the Canon color, and I think they take good photos. I mean the 5D Mark II was just an amazing camera for the time. If the M5 really is a 24.2 million pixel APS-C CMOS sensor, that's some interesting technology. One of the issues I have with the Panasonics is the color is just a little weird, although in this regard they are now much, much better. Lets say I bring 6 to 12 cams to a shoot, I would like some APS-C or even larger mixed in with the 4/3 sensors so I can have some shots with more or less DOF.

Basically, I wish someone, Canon, whatever, would make a Sony a6300 that did not overheat. APSC, 4K. Samsung almost pulled it off, that's some great technology, but the color science is a bit off. And the Fuji's are just getting into video. Should all be good in a year or two and then we will be into 6K I guess and I'll have to sell everything and start all over.

At this point, I have a whole cartload of m4/3 lenses, and 10 bodies, so maybe I'm stuck, but I could use one or two APSC cams and just buy the glass to go with them. Maybe Sony will fix the 6300. Next set I will use some of the new Log luts, but I still won't get the ultra-fine detail of the 6300. The 6300 just pulls a bit more detail out of the frame.

Anyone want a GH2? Makes your 12mm a 10.8mm!

I always liked these cams, they just had crap video.
