I took an eos-m to Maui in 2022. It is a good travel camera. It is now my backup to my m6 mark II. I don't use Magic Lantern. I have 2 ef-m, 1 ef-s and 3 EF lenses.
Got one for 250 bucks few years back with a 35mm 1.4 footage was really great , i did 1080p and upscaled it to 4k This mode didnt have much noire like other modes did.
Thanks for this honest review. In my opinion I've yet to see any footage out of the EOS M raw that i'm impressed with. Lots of weird aliasing and odd color but being compared to Arri's and Red's like... what the heck haha.
@@WhiteJadeProductions Exactly! It's exactly that! And for what it is, it's pretty awesome (especially that the custom firmware is community driven) But seeing it compared to Arri's is just plain "emperors new clothes" haha
@@unbroken1010 Yes. I watched the video. I was saying how I like how he's reviewed it for what it is and not compared it to full blown cinema cameras. I think it was a fair comment!
It was dark in photo mode? Was your f stop small? Iso low? I don't get what your saying about not buying third party stuff? Like a adapter? What third party accessories would corrupt a SD card?
ahaha no nothing like that. simply changing modes changed the screens brightness even with all the same settings applied. and i’m talking about third party software not hardware. any third party software could potentially corrupt an sd card
It definitely depends on what you use it for but for photos, vlogging, or using it as a webcam i’d say it’s amazing for the price! i believe so but you might want to check canons website for compatibility.
@@WhiteJadeProductions I have two of these from back in the day. I agree the auto focus for stills was and is the deal breaker for most people. It is slow to focus so if you want to shoot in a fast moving environment you miss a lot of shots. It also struggles to focus in low light as most of the cameras of that generation. Most people are and were attracted by the Magic Lantern video capabilities. It is a cheap way to explore 4K video and it will take cheap manual focus lens with an adapter easily.
grate video . you should probably tell people you are using a gimbal. some people might think thay can get amazing footage like you have with just this camra and lens.
You could get these exact same shots with steadicam or a dolly so I don't typically disclose that info. I doubt anyone who's ever held a camera is gonna think a small pocket sized camera with no IBIS would look this smooth anyway ahaha
@@dlprod11 interesting... I just looked and couldn't find it either. its very much a hard piece of gear to find but there are other brands that make similar half-grips for the eos M!
@@quitethecontrary1846 that is somewhat true for this method of achieving a "grainy" look, but not for actual film. this camera is mostly bought for specifically that filmic look so it makes sense to slightly underexpose to achieve the best result in this case.
@@WhiteJadeProductions I under stand that.....but my point is...The color space / profile of a specific film stock is completely different than its "grain" look though...a "grainy look" is only achieved by NOT exposing properly...both with film and digital... I just know from experience that film is much sharper than any digital sensor of the same size because silver halide grain is microscopic and pixels are not... also why when a drum scanner is used on film..you can "pixel peep" the image..which is not possible with a digital RAW image...
@@quitethecontrary1846 I understand what you're saying and I totally agree but people get this camera for the grain. I'm not out here teaching how to properly expose. if you are buying this camera you should already know how to do that. I'm simply showing how its flaws are used best.
@@WhiteJadeProductions that is indeed the trade off. I often joke to myself that if this workflow were required for any modern cinema camera, no one would buy it 🤣🤣🤣. I accept the process if only for the discounted cost
@@unbroken1010 the built in 1080p that comes with the camera is not the same as the magic lantern files that are generated when you film with magic lantern. It makes its own special container which then needs to be transcoded to something else before it's usable.
Because it is cheaper than most lenses, and you can still adapt most glass to it while keeping the form factor. This camera is 12 years old, so it has quirks and character all its own, but I’m finding the M6 Mark II covers most of what you need that you’d find in newer RF mount APSC cameras, where the EOS M is great for raw video and vintage characteristics, without the expense of other high end cinema cameras.
The Mount might be ditched, but blackmagic and cinemacameras in general rely on old mounts for a long time. There was not a lot of Detail about this EOS M Camera. But i think, you would be better of with a pocket 4k alike for a convinient Video focused camera. Espicially if you want ti stop using autofocus. 😅 This camera is still interesting to me, but like a lot of toys, i don't see worthy usage in any time.
Canon never supported this camera family very well with native lenses that pop on right out of the box. The whole point of this camera to me is to get adapters to open up your lens choices. With adapters you can mount almost any lens ever made.

It’s an awesome camera as is and of course perfect for travel
You bragging about being rich
@@unbroken1010 I paid $149 for the EOS-M.
@@tonykeltsflorida not bad, that's what I would pay too. Maybe a little more with the 22 mn
@@tonykeltsflorida I would pay that, maybe a little more with the 22 mm but why you bragging about all gear you own and lenses?
bought one of these for $230 - such a decent camera for price
I beat you lol got one for $73 usd with the kit lens, excellent condition in box!

it certainly holds up despite its age!
Excellent Review, my Good Brother, thanks!! EOS M for life, here (though I have other cameras as well). 😄 Instant new subscriber. 👍🏾👍🏾
Great video! Currently on the search for my first video camera and this was added to my list.
appreciate it! and glad i could help! i think it’ll be a great first video camera for ya!!
Nice Video! Are you using Crop Mood??
i am in fact!
I got one for 140 bucks last month, it's very worth it!!!😊
totally agree!!
Just picked up a great example for $60 on my local FB marketplace. Been playing with ML
That's great the cheapest I see is $180 with a lens
wow I got one with the kit lens in box for $73! 60 is nuts! With a lens too?
That switching modes issue with dark screen does not happen with my copy of this camera - something specific to your unit/settings.
Yes, I think he stopped down on aperture. That made zero sense
about the problem with the dark photo mode , try other manual modes like tv
Is it possible he was stopped down or on a low iso.
Thanks for this honest review. In my opinion I've yet to see any footage out of the EOS M raw that i'm impressed with. Lots of weird aliasing and odd color but being compared to Arri's and Red's like... what the heck haha.
ahaha it's definitely not a cinema camera by any means, but kinda fun for traveling or shooting old/stylistic videos
@@WhiteJadeProductions Exactly! It's exactly that! And for what it is, it's pretty awesome (especially that the custom firmware is community driven)

What would you say, it's the best small Canon camera?
Also, is this compatible with the webcam software from canon?
It definitely depends on what you use it for but for photos, vlogging, or using it as a webcam i’d say it’s amazing for the price! i believe so but you might want to check canons website for compatibility.
This camera has been super fun for me!
Canon Eos m2 or Canon Eos m? I’m mainly looking at using it for photography
the original eos M. im not sure how great it is for photography. I would suggest maybe a newer camera if autofocus is a dealbreaker

Did you ever use the 22 mm f 2 with it?
I’ve got one and it’s absolutely fantastic. But, manual focus is extremely slow. Takes a few turns to go from the low end to the high end
Lucky to find one for $73 usd with kit lens and in box in excellent condition!

Great video. Where did you get the grip?
it came with the camera when i bought it. i believe it’s floating around on ebay and amazon. look up “canon eos M grip”
@@WhiteJadeProductions I can only find ones for the M10 and M100
@@dlprod11 interesting... I just looked and couldn't find it either. its very much a hard piece of gear to find but there are other brands that make similar half-grips for the eos M!
@@dlprod11just buy a old vintage camera case and cut a hole in it. Or a small strobe frame , unscrew the top
this video is so helpful thank you i loved it
there is no grain if you use auto iso with manual modes
the “grain” comes from using color de noise with a higher iso! you could of course avoid it like any other camera but where’s the fun in that
@@WhiteJadeProductions I know some people want grain...but if you expose properly....there is no grain...that my point

The IQ is great but the workflow is just awful. Having to transcode the footage before you can edit it is a major pain
Ngl it does kinda suck but for $200ish dollars you can’t complain too much i suppose 🤷♂️
@@WhiteJadeProductions that is indeed the trade off. I often joke to myself that if this workflow were required for any modern cinema camera, no one would buy it 🤣🤣🤣. I accept the process if only for the discounted cost
What do mean by transcode? Can't you just use the 1080 p straight out of camera
@@unbroken1010 the built in 1080p that comes with the camera is not the same as the magic lantern files that are generated when you film with magic lantern. It makes its own special container which then needs to be transcoded to something else before it's usable.
Didn't Canon kill the M mount? Why invest in a dead system.
Because it is cheaper than most lenses, and you can still adapt most glass to it while keeping the form factor.

yea they did but glass for it is super cheap and easily adaptable!
The Mount might be ditched, but blackmagic and cinemacameras in general rely on old mounts for a long time.
There was not a lot of Detail about this EOS M Camera.

This camera is still interesting to me, but like a lot of toys, i don't see worthy usage in any time.
the worth in this camera really is the cost tbh. the BMPCC 4k is an amazing choice but also is 4x the price. i’d very much recommend it tho!
Canon never supported this camera family very well with native lenses that pop on right out of the box. The whole point of this camera to me is to get adapters to open up your lens choices. With adapters you can mount almost any lens ever made.
I think the Lumix s5 outshoots it tbh
comparison video coming soon 👀
Of course a $2,000 camera is going to outshoot a $200 camera.
You are comparing it to a $ 2,000 camera? Ffs relax p Diddy. 😂
Yes your dad selling this camara for 150$👍
Just got one for €200 (and everything that came with the box + 4 lens caps and 2 SD cards + flash + small camera bag)
