Bottom Line |
The Canon EOS M10 is a great introductory ILC, perfect for anyone looking to upgrade from a point-n-shoot. Very similar to an EOS Digital Rebel, the M10 is much smaller and easier to carry, but will need an adapter to use the full selection of Canon EF and EF-S lenses. Read more in our Full Conclusion. |
In late 2015, Canon USA updated their EOS M-series of mirrorless ILCs with the addition of the EOS M10. The second generation M-series ILC from Canon, the M-10 offers improved image quality and shooting performance, thanks to its DIGIC 6 processor and 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor. This combination allows the M10 to offer reduced noise levels over its predecessor, with a quoted 2 stop improvement; meaning the EOS M10 has about the same level of noise at ISO 1600 as the M2 had at ISO 400.
Other appealing features that Canon has packed into this new camera include a 3" tilting touchscreen LCD with 1.04million dots of resolution, Touch Focus and Touch shutter options, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC, their newer Hybrid CMOS AF2 autofocus system (which offers 49-points versus the M2's 31-points), various creative filters, a full range of exposure programs (PSAM), and continuous capture rates up to 4.6FPS; to name a few.
All of this is packed into a compact body that measures 4.2x2.6x1.3 inches, and is available in Black, White, or Gray.
