The stop motion was hilarious. Best laugh I had in a long time!
Great job!! this is the best camera gear video I have seen so far!! Well done!
You really make great videos! They're the best reviews on TH-cam, bar none.
Awesome video like always and the stop motion animation was really funny.
Chris, this is the best video ever! hahha I love the stop-motion video clips :)
Excellent review - you are the best!
Another great field test...and an interesting interlude.
Brilliant reviews, really enjoy them!!! Nice relaxed style.....
thanks for sharing.i was looking for a good quality camera and i think you made good points there.
Really great stuff. Just solid content in all your reviews.
Great review! Very informative! Thanks!
Loved the sketch! It's really creative!
The stop motion was brilliant! Love the Pentax K-01 and Leica M-E bit.
Very informative, detailed and fun video.
Another great review from TCS!
I half expected you to toss that camera into the water at the end of the video haha
Great reviews, keep it up!
very nice review, entertaining and very informative
the party is quite refreshing! nice job guys!
Love the stop animation, awesome and very funny!!!
Wonderful stuff!
haha you guys did an incredible job, I love the camera party part, haha
haha love the camera party! You should make more of this!
Great review!
Best review for the EOS M ever!
Great video!
LOVE the stop motion.
The mirrorless party was hilarious when the Leica showed up. Great job!
LOL enjoyed the small skit right there. keep up the good work!
Love your honesty it is rare on TH-cam to get truth in reviews... Thanks guys.
Thanks a lot. I really like your review. It's simple and true to the product itself. I'm a Canon fan and I agreed with you.
For this video we used the mic included with the Sony UWP-V1. It's a fantastic mic considering it's included in the package.

Loved the stop motion humor.
hahahahaha great stop motion segment!!!! love it !!!
Hi Chris, great review as usual, love the stopmotion humor too!! :)
Quick question: What lavalier mike are you using, it isolates background noise beautifully!!
Thanks
your reviews are getting really really good. I am liking you guys more than digital rev now. one suggestion though. Could you possible color grade your videos?
Great review as always, but the audio level wasn't consistent. Absolutely loved the stop motion camera party - very well done!
THE best intro ever :D
Great video. Very professional. When are you going to put out a review of the new Canon EOS 6D?
I'm glad you found our video entertaining. I do feel however that other mirrorless cameras have better bracketing and time lapse capabilities. For example the Sony NEX 6 can bracket up to three stops apart instead of the Ms two. The M can't use Canon's EOS utility software and it's battery life is terrible further hindering time lapse. Eye-fi cards will work in it's competitors too. We failed to mention these things because it just seemed too cruel.

Aboot, aboot....ha ha, Canadian accent.
Great review. Always love your videos and the "EVIL/mirrorless party" really adds value to your channel.
I have a K&F Concept M42-EOSM but shutter not firing have changed C.7 any suggestions please?
Nicely done!
I got nervous when you held the camera over the river w/o a wrist strap. My brother in law dropped my S95 on the sidewalk the other day.
did not know there is a contest between them.
i like them both. :D
Excellent honest review, and funny without being stupid. like you know who!
Brilliant!
loved the camera party thing!! very funny!!
hopefully next year, will be a new "pro" M body with the next APS-C sensor borrowed from the new 7d.
Another 5 years with the same sensor so it must be good.
Did you say that you can take pics without a lens? I have one and I cannot make it work with my Swarovski TLS APO lens for digiscoping.
I have to say, great reviews! The guy reviewing , wow, I wish I could speak like him.
haha ha :) Pentax and canon buddies.. :) superb video. thanks for another one.
Great skit! What do you think about the new EOS M possibilities with Magic Lantern and firmware update for AF?
Really great test. Could you do a test on the Lumix G5?
i cant load the firmware 2.02 to use with ml.the ok icon is greyed out to finish the ok .it recognises the new firmware on screen.same with 2.03 .so just bought eos m with 14-45mm zoom for 130£.going get used to it for now.
With the new firmware update for the Eos m fixing the slow auto focus would you recommend it?
I'm not sure if the EOS M autofocus could keep up.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
The price drop is incredible, and you can get beautiful photos out of their sensors. Damn those rubber doors and get over the weird looks and you have a functional tool for sure.
Chris @ The Camera Store
Do a review of the Canon EOS M3?
Great review. I was playing with a Sony Nex-6 today, what a beautiful little camera. And I use Canon as a working photographer. I bought the Sony RX-100 what a great little camera. i want to integrate the Nex-6 into my kit as a back up but its the flash or lack of that stops me. i think I will get the Nex-6 as travel and weekend camera its just to nice. i would rethink my pro gear as well only that I have L lenses and speedlites and a couple of 5D's. Sony really is bring it to the big boys
You mentioned that you can use FD lenses with this camera. How do you do that? I have the adaptor but it will not allow me to take pictures with an FD lens attached.
How would you compare this to the Olympus E-PL5? Im thinking about getting a mirrorless camera and I saw how fast the Oly can auto focus, but my family is full of dedicated canon users
Yea, I have a olympus pen e-pl5 and I jumped on it for the price. May sell the Canon or the Olympus depending on which one I like more.
This was shot with the Sony FS700.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
I love my NEX 5 so I just love shootouts that prove that I made the right decision two years ago! But they both have APS-C sensors and are both made by companies that are strong in the video market as well. Maybe just a video features shootout? If you forget the focusing speed on paper they seem pretty equal.
Have you guys messed with this camera ever since the new firmware that supposedly helps with the autofocusing issue? And would you folks consider the EOS M more competitive now with the starting price of $299? Thanks
Great, informative and honest review guys. Shame about Canon's effort though. Too little too late? Great idea with the camera party. You guys are the kings of the camera review.
Wow!
Now THAT's a video camera!
Really good video.
But I have a question: why don't you ever do reviewabout olympus mirrorless cameras or even mention them?
I bought the M on 20th May. Read about focus problems. Seems very good to me. Not quite up there with DSLRs but within its limitations fine. Quality of photos and build is very high. 18-55 very good. Even the supplied flash is OK. Movie good but not used it much yet. And it's still made in Japan! Did a very good deal here in the UK on price. Camera is so light compared to DSLR that I carry it almost everywhere. Regards from retired freelance snapper.
very nice video. now i would likevto see u rewieing the nikon v2.
Hahah, the outro is even better :-D
good honest review,I've come to trust your opinion.
GODS!!! What happened to those STAMPEDERS today?
best intro ever :)
I think you have to specify "take pictures without lens attached" somewhere in the menu.
The thing is, I wanted the APS-C censor and ability therefore to use all kinds of lenses so when I found it for almost half the price of a 1200D, which has, for the most part, worse specs, it was a must buy. It hasn't arrived yet, so I can't comment on what I think, but I think it will be just what I needed.
What kind of fisheye lens would i use on this camera? a micro four thirds or a regular fisheye like a rokinon?
get a rokinon model for a nikon or canon slr and adapt. the sensor size is same as the rebels, so a fisheye for crop dslr will be perfect for it
Great job Jordan and Chris. Now I don't have to review it. :)
why no review with the adapter?
Ausführliches Review. Danke.
awesome
I do agree with you!
I am hoping for the next one to be like the Canon AE-D concept!
You said you don't use the camera with a strap, but what is up with the wacky strap connectors? Can you even buy a wrist strap for it?
damn son!! i was determined to fall in love with this camera and you guys just shot it in the foot -_-
10 years later Canon have some of the best full frame mirrorless cameras on the market. Their compact APS-C line-up still aren't the market leader but I guess DSLR-esque enthusiast to pro systems is where Canon most comfortable with.
using it with magic lantern beta........its amazing.
I have the M and an M2, both great little cameras. Can use all my old lenses. Amazing picture quality. None of the other manufacturers can give you that amazing Canon look. Great video. Just superb video. And they are selling now for under $300 bucks. I think the M2 is a significant upgrade to the M.
IHKumicho1 I was able to find it eventually. It only accessible with the EOS-M lens attached to the camera. Once set the adapter can be used.
GREAT VIDEO! Somehow you forgot Olympus to the party, whose recent m43 built-in-stabilized bodies honestly represent the current authority in this compact system class instead of GF5 but I guess GF5 is sexier :)
I like digitalrev videos but honestly.... these videos are soooooooo much better, TCSTV FTW!!
What he probably meant was an EVF that would clip into the flash bracket. Olympus make a line of mirrorless cameras offering that feature.
Hi,
Does anyone know if the firmware upgrade has dramatically improved the auto focus speed? Thanks
I think it does. There a lot of test videos for that
Yes it does, atleast one of the reviewer said so. Havent got mine yet, just ordered and i am excited.
I really wanted to get this cameras as I have the 60D and 7D but tried it in the shop against the nex 6 and it was no contest in the AF department. I think it takes better photos than the nex 6 as I snapped a few and they looked just like my 7d which is amazing in such a small camera but the AF is too slow and no 50p video!! Plus the nex 6 has an awesome EVF.
I have been a canon user for over 10 years and never looked at any other brand until now, sorry Canon you had your chance!!
. ...view finders and range finders are possible,,
.
.
some how they do not translate into slr or dslr terms.
i think the sony nex-7 has the most correct term for them
as far as modern things go & i do not feel like looking up
as to what sony has dubbed the term for all that jazz is atm.
lol love the stop motion story line.
Hopefully gen2 will be more on par withe it's peers, but for the time I'll keep my 5N
What about how the touchscreen works when it's below freezing. Otherwise, great review. Thanks. --
8:17 lol! I'm thinking that Canon released this for the average consumer and will release (hopefully) a more "pro" model in the near future. It would be nice to see something along the lines of an OM-D EM-5 from Canon with with a nod to the AE-1.
They do have the adapter for the macro lens!
I love you again Chris~
Didn't you guys like the Q? I forget - I'll go parse through the video library again.
Great review and spot on. I believe canon had this sitting in the closet for far too long. Plus they need a new sensor tech anyway that 18mp is getting played out. Why no omd? I picked an omd and it gives all those mirror less cameras a run for the money. I tried most of the mirrorless systems. I am sticking to Leica and Olympus :P. FYI both can focus in almost absolute darkness ;)
How would you rate this for video? If its like DSLR at almost half the price would this be better than a t3i? Plus support for magic lantern which is a HUGE plus.
For video which is better this or T3i?
Between the EOS-M and the T3i for video I'd say Lumix G6. I sold a t3i and bought the Lumix, the Pana-leica 25mm, and the Sigma 60mm. The improvement is a joy I can barely describe. I do feel the Canon takes better stills even with the pans-leica on the lumix but video is night and day. Actually when I first started test shooting with the kit lens I got a sinking feeling in the gut. Like oh what have I done? Then I got some primes and shot some video. The clouds parted and angels sang. I can run video for two straight hours. It handles reds well. It handles harsh light well. 11.5 stops dynamic range. 24mbs 30p. 60p at 1080. I can control it from my phone (which I've never done except to show my wife). Seriously. If you're talking video and you don't have a cannon lens stash ditch Canon and go with the Lumix line. I started with Canon with the original Rebel XT. I was super loyal but boy am I glad I switched.
***** Sounds great but price is a major issue and the body is $200 more than the t3i kit with lens. And both are way more expensive than the M. Also I'm leaning tward canon purly because I want to try out magic lantern's RAW and other video features. Really a camera is a sensore in a box some have fance accessories but really it's got the same sensor as the lumix and because the lens mount is so close to the sensore almost any adapter can be made to work with the M so I have total freedom when it comes to lenses. It doesn't have teathered shooting but thats not a big deal right now. I'll worry about that when I upgrade later. Thanks for the input though. Made me consider some other options.
More stop motion segments, please!
