The digital imaging solution manufacturer Canon has recently took the wraps off its first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (ILC), the EOS M, which is equipped with an APS-C sensor. According to the company's press release the new digital camera houses a 3-inch capacitive touchscreen, and boasts many features found in its bigger brother, the EOS 650D, such as a hybrid AF autofocus system and a Movie Servo AF mode for real-time focusing. Below are mentioned the key specs and features of the EOS M.
Key Specs and Features
18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor: The EOS M packs an 18-megapixel, APS-C CMOS sensor (similar to the EOS 650D) together with the company's proprietary DIGIC 5 image processor.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800 in H mode) for video recording, ISO 100-12800 (expandable to 25600 in H mode) for still image shooting from bright to dim light and high performance Powerful DIGIC 5 Image Processor for exceptional image quality video and photos
31-point autofocus system: The ILC features a hybrid AF system--phase and contrast detection--which means faster and more precise autofocus performance for videos and stills, especially with moving subjects.
Touchscreen LCD: A 1,040k-dot resolution, 3-inch, capacitive touchscreen LCD--similar to the Canon EOS 650D--comes with multitouch capabilities allowing users to "pinch-to-zoom" during image playback and tap-to-focus or even shoot stills during video capture.
Movie Servo AF: Allows shutterbugs to constantly maintain focusing during the recording of videos.
Canon dSLR lens compatibility: Shutterbugs can mount their existing Canon EOS EF and EF-S dSLR lenses to the EOS M ILC and maintain full-AF coupling as well as functionality.
