Canon M3

Canon EOS M3 review - Digital Trends

www.digitaltrends.com

Lack of native lenses had been a sore point for the EOS-M system previously, but today’s offerings run the gamut. In addition to those tested, Canon now offers an EF-M 38mm f/3.5, 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3, and 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 superzoom. Still lacking from the lineup is a fast portrait lens and a constant-aperture zoom, although Canon is focusing more down-market with the M3 where these more expensive lenses have less appeal. Its early efforts don’t have a great track record: The original EOS M received such a dismal response in North America that the follow-up M2 didn’t even make it here (Canon did eventually bring it stateside, rebadged as the M10). But with the M3, which sits between the M5 and M10 of the EOS M-series, Canon is righting the ship, finally taking the mirrorless market seriously. The body (excluding lens) is a bit smaller than the PowerShot G3X, and has similar design cues. PowerShot G users will feel at home when they put their hands on the M3, as even the button layout is more PowerShot than EOS. This is a good move from the original EOS M, which took a minimalist approach to its control layout. The EOS M3 is a solid offering from Canon, but it is overshadowed by the more-advanced EOS M5. Early reports suggest the M5 is the mirrorless camera we always wanted Canon to build, and based on our hands-on time with the camera, we agree. Canon calls the M5 a “baby 80D,” in reference to the highly praised EOS 80D DSLR, which features the extremely fast Dual Pixel AF system.

Camera industry 2026: slowdown, compact revival, memory crisis, ...

April 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the Canon AE-1, and everything points to the forthcoming RE-1 (working title) as a digital homage. This will feature the same 32.5 MP sensor as the EOS R6 Mark III, DIGIC X processor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, but with tactile dials and film simulations aimed at street shooters and the film-curious. But, the rumour mill suggests the following might all come to pass at some point in 2026 and make up at least in part for the slow start to the year. Canon EOS R3 Mark II - Focused on speed, reliability, and refined pro workflows rather than headline resolution, though possible global shutter would catch atention. Canon EOS R7 Mark II - APS-C mirrorless with stronger wildlife/sports AF and improved video. Expected 2026. At the other extreme, the $35 Kodak Charmera keychain camera — 1.6 MP, blind-box unboxing experience — recently topped B&H's trending list. Meanwhile, vintage Sony CyberShots and Nikon Coolpix models are selling for inflated prices on eBay. Canon is one manufacturer that has responded by increasing compact camera production by 50%, and rumours point to three new PowerShot models in 2026.
