Review is 8,8 out of 10.

Very solid device for both photos and film

Tiltable screen
Fast autofocus
Smooth working method both when filming and photographing
Lack of built-in viewfinder, especially disruptive in bright outdoor lighting

Sharp photos. Very detailed movie recordings possible. Smooth operation. Auto focus very fast. (also with the additional lens 55 - 200 STM fast). In bright outdoor light, however, a viewfinder is desirable. An additional electronic viewfinder that can be mounted, however, makes it possible to eliminate this defect effortlessly. The tiltable screen is certainly an improvement. It makes it easy to approach an object from different perspectives. This is especially useful in mass manifestations. Despite the high ISO values, needed in places with low light, the noise level is rather limited.

beautiful camera, great value for money

handy size
APS-C sensor
RAW photos possible
bokeh of the lens not great

It is a top camera for the price and for the size. I won this camera through the coolblue review promotion. I've tested it ever since and I'm very happy with it. When you take the device in your hand, it immediately feels sturdy and of good quality. The design is sleek, functional and in my opinion very beautiful. The zoom ring of the lens turns smoothly and has a pleasant damping when you turn it. After testing some photos under different conditions, I can say the following. The quality of the photos is great for such a small camera. Compared to other system cameras, the Canon EOS M3 is perhaps rather large and heavy, but I've been used to my DSLR for years. In comparison, this device is really a relief to take with you. The sensor produces excellent photos that can be easily enlarged and cropped if necessary. It also takes photos in RAW format, something I find extremely important. Just a little note on this, you need a recent version of adobe lightroom to edit them (LR 6 if I look it up). ISO values are easily usable up to ISO 1600. At ISO 3200 there is already some noise in the dark parts of the photo. It depends on your pickiness whether this is still acceptable or not. I personally thought that it was not a problem and that ISO 3200 is certainly usable in situations that require it. From ISO 6400 there is a clear loss of quality. I would never want to use it myself except for photos that I don't value so much for the future. (think of a nice snapshot to show someone but not really to put in an album) I was very impressed with the autofocus of this camera. The focus is very fast and it can even track my dog running towards me with relative ease. It is of course not as fast as the AF of my D7000, but I must honestly say that this camera comes close. It is always reliable except in the most demanding situations. There is also a downside to this. Maybe it's because I'm used to the nikon system, but the AF modes were a bit complicated to understand at first. For that I had to download the manual to know which setting I want to use where. Once I got away with it, the settings became self-evident. For a complete photography novice, this can be an obstacle. Of course you can also just set everything to automatic and let the camera decide for you. More about the lens. In general, the supplies are excellent quality, especially for its price. What did bother me is that the bokeh effect (blurred background behind what you focus on) is not really nice. It is not as 'soft' and dreamy as with more expensive lenses. It gives rather busy and unpleasant images. This is of course because the price of the lens has to be printed somewhere. If you want to improve this, you will immediately end up with very expensive lenses. The image stabilization of the lens works properly. Shutter speeds down to 1/30 s were easily achievable. The camera also has some nice gadgets. For example, the touchscreen screen is fully tiltable. So all your selfie wishes can be fulfilled. The camera can also connect to your mobile phone, computer, TV or printer via a WiFi signal, which it broadcasts itself. In other words, if there are photos that urgently need to get on facebook, this camera has everything you need. What makes this even easier is that an NFC tag is present. Just turn on your mobile's NFC, tap it against the camera and a few seconds later they're connected. The camera can also be controlled remotely via your smartphone. Another downside is that there is no integrated electronic viewfinder. This in itself is not a problem because the tiltable screen is very usable, even in the sun. It is more out of habit that I always want to bring the device to my eye to take a picture. On the plus side, this can occasionally lead to hilarious situations if I throw the camera straight to my face without thinking.

To conclude, this is a great camera for the money. It offers the performance of a full-fledged DSLR in many areas, but in a much more convenient format. (in part because it shares its sensor with some canon DSLRs) It's beautiful, has nice features and it won't disappoint.

Nice compact camera with good quality photos

compact and light
good quality photos
wifi function
no separate viewfinder

(Won in the CoolBlue Review promotion)

Nice good compact camera from Canon. Fairly easy to use and good quality photos. Only have the experience yourself that the camera is a bit slow and a pity that there is no separate viewfinder.

Camera is easy to hold and not too heavy. There are many functions on the camera, but the menu is clear and easy to understand.

Photos you have taken can be edited immediately and sent online to your phone using the WiFi function. The flash looks a bit fragile Furthermore, a top device! and perfect to take with you. Definitely recommended by the (hobby) photographer who does not like to carry around.
