It does benefit slightly from a faster SD card. As I said above, the EOS M mechanism is slower. If you have a original EOS M camera and a 22 mm lens, they perform well together and offer excellent image quality.

I think it might be time to move on as I've not used it in a while, but I have no idea what latter Ms are like. My question is motivated by the fact that I have an original M, a 22mm lens and the kit lens. My original EOS M (Mk1) + EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens. It makes for a great backup camera and the pictures it takes are literally identical to those from a DSLR with an APS-C sized sensor. It's a remarkable camera.ĭoes the sensor have any advantages over subsequent EOS-M sensors, perhaps in terms of 'look'? Is there any reason to hang onto the original M? But I have had tremendous success with the original EOS M camera. The shutter mechanism and then operation speed of the original EOS M camera are a little slow compared to more recent models and it lacks the DPAF sensor. My main reason to take the M with me is because I might be in a location where the camera could be accidentally damaged. and my other EOS M (M6) is mounted to something else like a telescope rig. But it's really only pulled out when I need an APS-C sensor but don't want the bulk of a DSLR.

The original Canon EOS M, which was released in 2012, features an APS-C sized CMOS sensor with a resolution of 18 megapixels.
