Canon's Smallest Mirrorless Camera Packs a BIG Punch!

The Canon EOS M2 is Canon's smallest mirrorless camera design to date. Not only is this mini point and shoot camera amazing for photography, but, with some simple (and free) modifications, this M2 can be transformed into a pocket-sized cine rig, allowing 14bit RAW video capture internally. And the best part is, I got mine for less than $250 with a lens! 🤯

I own a Canon M2 camera. My description was always "great for photography, totally trash for videography." But after I've stumbled upon this video, my opinion about the videography capability changed a bit. Thanks for reviewing this camera!

[mirko]

Hey! Something very important to point out is that a highly enhanced build of Magic Lantern called "Crop Mood" has been ported to the M2 recently. You have loads of presets for aspect ratios, resolutions and crop factors there with a much more intuitive arrangement of settings and stability.

My EOS M goes literally everywhere with me. The footage out of that thing always blows my mind...

[alexander-ns]

Magic lantern crop mood makes this camera awesome for video now. Stable raw recording

[forever.procrastinating]

Man I bought a Canon M100 a year ago, then one month later I got a good deal on the original EOS M. Ive never touched my M100 again because I'm jawdropped with my other EOS M + Crop Mood Setup lol

[chieftd]

Great title for the wifi transfer example! Enjoy your videos. Cheers

[jordanwheatley]

I've been using an M100 with the 22mm for a few years and have truly loved it as my "pocket rocket"

[GinoFoto]

That 18mpx APS-C sensor is a nice bit of Canon' history by now, as it debuted on Sep 1, 2009 in EOS 7D and was used with
Canon EOS 4000D which was announced on Feb 26, 2018. I had one in my 600D, was OK for its time, but it had characteristic prominent magenta cast.

[deanisplemoni]

I wish they kept up with this mount. Typical Canon to just push everyone to full-frame but...

[apricanephoto]

I had the M2 for a while and loved it, however it really needs to be noted that it was only released in Asia for its retail commercial run. In practice, what this means is that most photo editing software developers took that as a cue to mostly not include RAW support for it in their programs (?!), with Lightroom being the notable exception. Since I personally use Capture One, that means I'm out of luck.

[bobcunningham]

I'm not sure I will ever forgive Canon for ending the M line. As a Canon user for 50 years, I thought the system was brilliant, and did buy into it. If it had been around long enough to have a model with IBIS, I would still be using it.

[rainlesure]

Watching your video while literally staring at the exact set up that you’re using there just in a different color😂

[theashen]

I have the EOS-M and I love many things about it, quirks and all

[HeroShotzphoto]

I'm buying this now i need a video cam to play with

[SamTaylors]

Great video and fantastic shots from the car shoot. The littlest M series cameras definitely deserve some love. Canon never properly got behind the mount and most of the lenses were uninspiring consumer grade zooms. But the 22mm is a gem, the 32mm f1.4 is incredibly good and the 28mm macro is can take amazing images. Thanks for sharing this Tom!

[Christo_glenn]

This camera has been slept on for a long time. Hope you’re getting on well in Canada, Tom!

[anonanon]

Sad Canon abandoned M series cameras, they're really useful for outdoor activities such as mountaineering, and I often carry the original M1 running.

[sarcophagotl]

I just got a sweet deal yesterday, around 325 $ for the camera with the kit lens, two extra batterys, and a leather case plus the 22 mm f2 lens 😊

[okaro]

I bough the 22 mm ten years ago for 70 € when they were dumping them on ebay. It is nice and small.

[adden]

I still own this.. and still loving it, and I love the 22mm lens, too!!
