Canon is expanding its EOS digital cameras portfolio with the introduction of the new EOS M5 Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera and its first EF-M High Power Zoom EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens.

The Canon EOS M5 camera features a 24.2 Megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor, DIGIC 7 Image Processor and the fastest AF speed in the EOS M-series, enabling photographers to capture clear, sharp, high-resolution images and Full HD videos.

It is also the first in the EOS camera line to include the low energy Bluetooth Smart feature that can maintain a constant connection with your compatible smartphone or tablet when you use the Canon camera connect application and both applications are active.

The EOS M5 camera also has a touchscreen and a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) and Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF for capturing stills and shooting video with smooth and precise autofocus. This allows for Touch and Drag AF so you can easily switch the subject of your focus by dragging the AF frame directly on the LCD panel, even while looking through the camera’s EVF. Focus peaking allows you to highlight the area of the image that is in focus from within the EVF or LCD monitor.

The Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compatible with all Canon EOS M series digital cameras, and is a great option for photographers looking to capture scenic landscapes while traveling to close-up shots from afar. Its image stabilizer helps with reducing image blur and making image and video shooting easier at longer focal lengths. Along with the enhanced performance, the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compact and lightweight, making it a versatile and convenient lens to carry.
