Canon launched the EOS M5 just a few days before 2016’s Photokina, the massive bi-annual photography show in Cologne, Germany. It was a clear sign that the company was starting to take its mirrorless proposition a little more seriously.

In the majority of situations, the Canon EOS M5 locks onto the target with relative ease and with a good degree of accuracy. Canon has spent a lot of time improving the speed of focusing for its M-series cameras – slow autofocusing being something that marred other M-series releases.
