amazon Canon EOS M10 reviews

Design

Excluding share-SLR, compact camera body only M10 as a compact machine. Machines can choose black or white, the color white looks quite cute to fit female users. When fitted with the lens 15-45 mm into the machine still compact and can be placed in bags. In addition, Canon also offers accessories colorful shell tiles to customize looks for the machine.

However, the compact design makes the hold, adjust parameters on the M10 uncomfortable. The right side in the front-panel, no protruding grip handle makes it difficult to make. It also has only one rotation in the shutter button, 5 buttons on the back, so the set parameters, modes depends largely on a 3-inch touch screen makes operation a lot slower if not maturity, sometimes you have to click a few times to make adjustments desired.

For a square size, M10 also always part amputated viewfinder, so the aim and playback are carried out through the screen. The screen has good visibility, can be used to view the sun and rotate 180 degrees to capture facilities “take a selfie”.

At the top of the camera, you will see the switch to switch between three modes: fully automatic photography, taking pictures and filming. No flash mounted machine left foot, but integrated flash for necessary cases. Movie button and WiFi functionality is integral to user convenience press, shows Canon emphasize two features.

Overall design of the M10 emphasis on minimalist, compact and cute design. To offs to the compact, M10 to sacrifice many buttons, rotation, and so dependent on the touch screen, it will lose points for those who want to design camera for the adjustment.

However this is not necessarily a drawback for people using Canon DSLR system.

Assess the quality of photography

Lens 15-45 mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM according together on M10 equivalent focal length 24 – 72mm on a full frame. Focus range is suitable for shooting with multiple genres from the street, indoor, portrait or landscape even though the ability to “remove background” will be limited due to the small aperture. This lens also showed some weaknesses in the shot, especially in the ability to focus.

Canon applies Hybrid CMOS AF system AF II on the M10, with 49 AF points provides fast focusing speed and comparable to the EOS 100D or EOS M2. But do not reach high-definition image “stretch” though adjusts focus at the center, and tried through the manual focus mode (with support from Peak Focusing feature – automatic press feature in each region in the image) and autofocus. The ability to touch the touch screen to select the focus point AF also makes it easier for those who are not familiar tune.

The lens also encountered another problem is the phenomenon of border blue / purple. This phenomenon can be seen clearly at the edges of objects that contrast sharply with the background, as in the photo above.

For those not familiar with photography, the mode of fully automatic M10 is enough for the scene is not too complicated. Good morning gauge, automatically sets the shutter speed and ISO reasonable so when taking photos at night shake. Mode automatic white balance works well, for the standard colors.

M10 is also capable of good noise reduction at high ISO. At lower ISO 400, images are in and out in great detail. Noise starts to appear at ISO 800, but not much and only visible when launched, microscopy images at maximum size.

At ISO 1600 noise levels are well controlled, steady light strip comes. Began to appear more noise at ISO 6400. It supports up to ISO 12800 level, but perhaps it is only really necessary if you have taken photos in poor lighting conditions.

Besides the automatic mode, the M10 is also equipped with many creative shooting modes including Creative Assist mode will generate 6 photos available next edit the original image. You can also apply as HDR mode, black and white shooting mode to effectively feed better.

When the option to save JPEG files, EOS M10 speed up photos quickly. If you choose to save the RAW mode, then save the image of the machine speed still acceptable, marginally more than the G5 X we’ve evaluated.

With a single charge, the battery park M10 can capture approximately 300 images. These are average figures, unfortunately Canon does not support charging through the USB port on your computer with the user G5 X to take advantage of the backup batteries are very popular nowadays.

M10 allows adjustments fairly detailed filming, due to its convenient touch-focus. But the limits of resolution (25fps just shoot Full HD resolution) that limit the ability of plant filming.
