the EOS m5 is not dead canon will
announce the EOS m5 to later this year

the difference between the m6 and the m5

fresh from ken rumors the eos m v mark
ii will it be announced later this year
the m5 will have in body image
stabilisation a built-in electronic
viewfinder and improved build quality
and it will be available for sale in
early 2021 along with two new lenses
canon will be adding the EF m 52 f/2 STM
which is equivalent to 85 millimeters on
a full frame camera canon is also
working on the EFM 100 to 300 but this
is not expected to be out until 2021
this is good news for m5 and m6
customers that have been wondering about
canons commitment to the EFM system with
rumors of an aps-c RF body rumored to be
in development some are wondering if
Canon plans to continue the aps-c
mirrorless system I even wondered this
myself in this video
eventually Canon might migrate
everything over to the RF system but it
does not look like this will happen
anytime soon with the m5 Mark 2 on the
horizon and let's not forget canon just
release the m6 last August the APS CEOs
RF body is likely to be aimed at
customers of the 60 or 70 which is the
high end of the aps-c market while it
will not play in the same segment as the
m5 Mark 2 if the aps-c RF body is
successful it could pave the way for
more budget-friendly aps-c cameras and
eventually spell the end of the m5 or
the M system Canon is also rumoured to
be releasing a budget-friendly version
of the RP later this year
potentially cannibalizing the M system
further if you are considering the m5
mark to consider your roadmap do you
eventually see yourself migrating to the
RF system if so consider buying EF and
ef-s lenses that can be migrated to the
RF system both can be adapted to the RF
system for $100 and are issu free the m5
and it's lenses are compact they're
lightweight and priced for consumers
that want to upgrade away from
smartphones to produce better images and
videos while smaller and lighter lenses
are being developed for the RF system
they are slightly bigger and heavier
than what's available on the MCM system
if you're looking at the m5 Mark 2 you
should also consider the m6 before the
mark 2 came along in October 2019 the
only differentiator are the only real
differentiator between the m5 and the m6
what's the position of the flip-out
screen up or down and that really only
mattered if you are a YouTube
personality or you're doing vlogging it
was a mirrorless equivalent of the 90 d
it came with 4k improved autofocus 2.5
megapixel camera sensor eye autofocus 14
frames per second and great low-light
sensitive oh it also came with 120
frames per second slow motion and raw
burst mode up to 30 frames per second
and I could keep going on it provided so
much the m6 provides much better value
than the m5 for the ordinary filmmaker
if you're considering these two lenses
go with the m6 mark 2 or even consider
the 90 d although it's much heavier
however just as the m6 mark to leapfrog
the m5 mark 1 the m5 Mark 2 will likely
leap from the m6 mark to the m5 will get
the same sensor same capabilities the m6
but it will have in body image
stabilisation be better built and have a
built-in electronic viewfinder still
confused which system to get a
capability map can help simplify the
decision-making let me show you what I
mean using keynote I organized the
capabilities that are important to me
you could use PowerPoint or just draw
them out on a piece of graph paper
a capability is simply an outcome that
you want out of the camera so think of
what it is you're trying to get out of a
camera don't get caught up in the
specifications here are the capabilities
I came up with for the Fuji xg3 I spend
most of my time shooting video so Trust
where the autofocus is very important to
me yours will be different from mine you
might choose portability ease of use
compact and lightweight producing travel
videos scenic photos portraits and so on
organize these capabilities so that
they're visually clean the order doesn't
matter next come up with a simple
scoring model I choose green for
excellent that means it performs a
capability very well
I choose orange for capabilities that
mostly meet the capability but there's
something important missing red means it
either performs the capability poorly or
it's just not there at all
I recently compared the Fuji XC 3 to the
XD for the heat map visually shows us
how well multiple cameras meet our
expectations it removes that complexity
enabling us to ask the right questions
and make informed decisions but one
thing is missing I'm treating all these
capabilities with the same importance on
the left the heat map shows us how well
the camera performs the desired outcomes
on the right the heat map shows us the
level of importance of each capability
in this example the EXCI performs well
against my capabilities but most
importantly it scores very well with
those capabilities
I consider mandatory here I used the
same heat map to compare different
lenses against my desired outcomes these
tools and technique simplify complex and
detailed information and help you focus
on what is important helping you make an
informed decision I'm not here to
influence you or to get you to buy
cameras that I like I'm here to inform
you and provide you with the same tools
that I use so that you can make your own
informed decisions always do your own
