You're giving out so much wrong information, man. 1. EOS M3 does not have dual pixel AF 2. EOS M3 and M6 are mirrorless cameras without EVF, that does not make them rangefinders.... 3. EOS M5 is just a mirrorless with EVF, that does not make it an SLR

Finally!! A straight forward, easy to understand, clear comparison for these three cameras. Exactly what I needed to help make my choice! Thank you!!!

I love my M3. It's been with me for about two and a half weeks.

All EF-M lenses except the 22mm has image stabilisation built in anyway. Get the M3, it works great for me.

I keep hearing the repeated message from various reviews is that the downside of the M5 is the drop down LCD screen but I'd say that's a plus as the end result in video is the direct, or appearance of direct, line of vision into the camera lens. If you want to mount it on a small handheld tripod to extend your reach there are fixes. The one I came up with is attaching the base of the camera onto a narrow Manfrotto spigot adaptor that then attaches onto the Manfrotto 208 table top tripod which is perfect for a hand grip when vlogging. This leaves more than enough of the screen visible when vlogging. While that's not an issue with the m3 or m6 THEY both have the added need for a workaround in terms of mounting an external mic to the camera since placing it in the hotshoe at the top totally blocks the screen. Again, there's a fix for that issue too but with all three cameras requiring a workaround for viewing the LCD screen I'd say it's a break even in that regard. Then with the perk of direct eye contact in your video plus having the built in EVF makes it a winner for me.

This should be named "The real landed M camera review". Great content and very well explained the "things to take in count" between the 3 cameras. Thanks for this.

I had my m3 for a week already loving it. Don't much video; but when I do, I mount it on a gimbal for stablization. The only down side is that Canon Image Gateway is no longer working with the m3.

So far, loving my M5 for casual stuff for photos and videos. When on a tripod, I don’t flip the screen down, I just relay in DPAF and haven’t been disappointed.

thanks man for the vlog,as a beginner,now i feel much more clear to choose what camera is suit for me,i think for travelling not as a vlogger, m5 is the answer

I shoot with the M3, I've had it for about a year. The only thing I don't like about it is the auto focus is slow when shooting videos. I've learned to shoot with manual. I'm considering getting the M6 because of that.

I have Canon M6 with EF-M 18-150 mm lens kit and EF-M 11-22 mm. There will be dark shadow in right bottom of photo when using internal flash at wide side of both lens. I will consider not to use its internal flash further.

Good review. Only a huge difference between M3 & M6 is the 1080p @ 60fps, where as in the M3 you need to step down to 720p to get 60fps. (on top of all you mentioned). Apart from that, I can't wait to get an M6! Thanks.

thank you soooo much for this review. ive wasted my time looking for the best comparison of the 3 m series of canon for weeks now and I found this video. This is a good comparison for me to decide w/c one is really good for me to self study basic photography using mirrorless camera.

In Indonesia gap price between Canon EOS M3 vs Canon EOS M6 is more than $500, which is for me is a lot. Because I am food photographer and beauty vlogger, Canon EOS M3 more than enough, I can save another $500 to buy adapter and lenses. Before I was confused, should I get Canon EOS M6 instead M3. After I watch this video review I am clear that I should stay with my Canon EOS M3. Thank you for the Video.

I must admit the drop down screen does make it easier for the vlogger to appear sincere as the eye line -of-site isn't given away.

I am a sports photographer and wish to make another purchase of a camera body. I shoot mostly with a Sigma 120-300 2.8 lens, would the M5 accommodate that lens without having to purchase an adapter to make it fit. Also, is the fact that it is mirrorless make it quieter when I shoot indoors at events? BTW - I think your presentation is very clean. It was very easy to follow you. Nice job, man!

Personally have a m6 and its really really amazing great battery life awesome footage at nighttime...i have a wide angle lens which makes the camera even much better

I have a M100 and find it very similar to these line ups. If I did upgrade it would be the M6.(but then a month later a newer model will appear) (damn it)

I do KZfaq videos and I just want a camera for my videos but also maybe for pictures. Should I get the m3?

I love my m6 for vlogging and taking pictures I've only used an iPhone 6s and a GoPro hero 1 before my m6 and it's amazing.

Thanks very much for such a good review ! So many different cameras in my price range old, used, slr-s m-s , it's a first vid. showing all the differences, and I scanned all you tube fir that 😉 2 years ago and it is still up to date . Greetings from UK !

I just bought my wife M3 because she's just starting to love it as a hobby. your video makes more sense to me on what i have bought (not a fan of this cameras im more into drones and sports camera) now im a bit confused if i should return th em3 and get m6 but then you made it clear on ur video to save the money for upgrading to m6 by just buying new lenses, :D

Sir, thank you for this video, I'll going to take M3, its enough for me as beginner.

Excellent review. Thanks so much, it was very helpful.

Im owning the EOS M3 and happy about it, BUT my only two flaw is that it dont shoot up too 60fps in 1080 for the slowmo and the upside flip screen.. My external mic I sort of ducktaped it to the side of the camera

Thank you! It's helpful! Because I have an M3 and I'm thinking about should I get an M5 or M6.

Simple and best review. Thanks.

Thank you man! Great review !!!! Just one quick question : which one would you suggest (M3 vs M6) for shooting a short film, besides the vlogging reasons? If you could answer this question I would be more than grateful! Thank you in advance, George.

I Probably would probably buy the m6 because i think its suitable time for vlogging and photography

Thanks for the video. I found a kit deal for the M3 that included the EF/EF-S lens adaptor and an 18-55mm EF-M lens for a little over $500. But I still want to check out the M6 before I decide. I do want to vlog with it, because the alternative (my existing 60D) is just way too heavy to lug around.

Hi,which one you can recommend for video guitar sessions at home in a room. canon 70d,m3,or m6? I just need blurr so i will be used with 50mm 1.8 lens thanks..

Nice video!! I'm thinking about buying a new camera. It would be my first camera! I think M3 is much better than M6 cuz I can't feel the difference...I'm a super beginner lol. Anyway thanks for the awesome video.

I did a pretty in depth comparison on the M6 for vlogging. I’m getting the M3 in as well to play with it and I started to see what I was to expect. Thanks for your video!

LOVE THIS VIDEO ! Just confirmed my purchase on buying a M6 ! Keep up the good content ! I see a lot of HATERS

if I not mistaken m6 doesn't have the sensor shift stabilization,it's just software stabilization

and the m5 would be slightly better for clogging because when the screen is flip down it is almost impossible to notice when you look at yourself, when you look at the top one it is extremelyyyyy noticeable, the m6 and m3 would be better for at home/ set/"studio" videos

thank you for making this video!

Great. Very helpful! Thanks

Great review. I may go for M6

Awesome video!!!!!! You helped me to decide.

even no there 1080 on all 3 the only reason i am considering the extra money for the m6 is the frame rate. 60fps is nice.. the dual pixel i could live without but 30fps seems so choppy to my

very good revieuw! thanks a lot! it made my decisioun 100times easier, xo from luxembourg

can you do a video how to take pictures at night T6s camara thanks

M3

What kind of lenses needed /recommended for M6?

Here is a thumbs up for the great advice. Do you know if the M3 does movie time-lapse?

Sir, for video between eos m6 and sony a6300 which one are better? For vlog travel.. Thanks before for the opinion..

What camera do you use for this video?

great reviews thank you

Hi, just a question maybe you can help me i´m just trying to buy a new camera like M3 but i have heard that if you use lenses with the adaptor only works in manual mode and the autofocus of the lense doesn´t works that is true?

The m3 has got some autofocus issues... Will the image stabilization interfere with that? If not, then the m5 and the m6 probably have those same problems. That's why I didn't buy the m3. Autofocus is a nightmare....The 700D has that problem too. I'm only basing my opinion on the video tests I've watched on youtube. Can you recomend me a Camera that won't have autofocus issues and it's a bit cheaper than the 80D?

Sorry but you seem to have little idea about color spaces. 1. While AdobeRGB includes more theoretical colors than sRGB, sRGB has finer steps in between the colors, because both use 8 bits per color (0-255, so 256 or 2^8 steps). Those extra colors available in AdobeRGB will rarely be used in everyday shooting (they are very saturated colors), so often sRGB is the better option. 2. Most applications will recognize AdobeRGB pictures as sRGB, which makes the color space skewed and the picture seem flat. Basically if you don't work with a specialty application that handles these color spaces correctly you should use sRGB. Considering these cameras aren't meant for professionals, nearly all users should stick with sRGB. 3. These color spaces are only being applied for JPEGs. RAWs are captured in 14 bit, so 16384 steps per color. That includes all colors from both sRGB and AdobeRGB. Thus RAWs can be converted into either and selection before taking the shot isn't necessary. I don't want to hate on the video, just want to inform the people. You did a great job of comparing the cameras.

Thanks man! I'm deciding between the m3 and m6 but I'm curious I need something that will do like an SLR quality, and music video type stuff. Also it would be good to have a cam in low light for the club clips for the videos. One last question between the two, which would be better quality when doing slow mo shots? Thank you so much man!

Yes, it does shoot 1080 30P, but not 1080 60P.

But what's better... Sony a5100 or Canon m3? I saw they're pretty similar

I just put up my M3 kit for sale on Amazon. It has less than 1k clicks on it. I just never used it other than for a few photo booths. :/

How would you compare the eos m3 video quality to an iPhone 6?

Am i able to use lens from a canon 70D to the M6?

M3 do not have dual pixel

can I use my m3 canon lens to a canon m6??

wow amazing >>im looking for vloging cam here u give me the choice of eso M 3 gonna buy it

So m6 the best?

Whatever you're doing keep up the good content. felt connected thru the whole video. please make real life comparison videos with the three cameras. I'm sure that would help a lot of people to get a better understanding.

Where can I buy the m3?

you totally forgot DPAF which is very important for Vlog

Can the M3 do the timelapse video that the M5 and M6 can?

good video!

is that price including lenses? I'm gonna walk around with camera..then should I get m6??

60FPS also for M6

EOS M3 will not shoot 1080 60P video like the M5 and M6.

I got M-6.The issue of image stabilization is confusing. For video M 6 is supposed to have it. M-6 on still does not have it ,but I got it with stills using the EF and EF-S. Is it five axis in body or from the lens? I don't know. I don't know if if this applies to M-3 in EF lens with IS lens. It may do it. I took some low light pics in a store at ISO 400 with 22mm M lens and got very blurry pictures. Probably should push ISO higher. Digic 7 will take a very high ISO. If you want in body stabilization for stills,you may need to go with Panasonic or Olympus,but if you have EF or EFS lenses,you have got it. But you have to get adapter.

M3 does not have dual pixel AF

the canon m3 has is

buying Canon mirrorless is so pointless when there are so many much better options

M6 rules. I dont need the viewfinder.

Canon EOS M3 doesn't have dual pixel AF!!!!!

the m5 isn't an slr, since its mirrorless it cant be and slr, that's an oxymoron . it would just be called a mirrorless

M3 is better in my opinion because you can buy a handheld stabilizer for less then $300

get the canon eos m1. It's only $100 for the body

Dual Pixel technology is not on the m3

None.

if you're broke, go for the m3. no brainer stuff.

Great review really enjoyed it thanks , however I was wondering what you thought it might go like for landscape I already hve 5d but I am looking for something smaller to carry around when I am out walking but something better than my cell phone, I like this as I can use my current lens as well. I think the M3 is all I need but I am open to other comments and thoughts , thanks , hve a look at my web site if it helps to see the site of stuff I do www.waynerickard.com

Hello there Photo Tribe! I've been receiving many questions regarding the Canon M Series and which variant would be best for specific applications. So instead of answering this question in the comments I decided to create a VLOG response to hopefully more clearly express the key differences between the three Canon EOS M series mirrorless cameras. Canon EOS M3 EOS M5 and the EOS M6. I certainly hope you enjoy.

You don't seem like you really know what you're talking about, you're just reading off a specs list.
