And like those other mirrorless cameras, video is more than an afterthought. According to the folks at Canon, the EOS M will be a little video powerhouse. The camera offers a full HD mode, with continuous focus tracking. It can shoot 1080p video at 24, 25, or 30 frames per second. There are built-in stereo microphones and room to plug in an external microphone as well (though there's no headphone jack).

As far as the still image side of things goes, the EOS M will put point-and-shoots to shame but may not excite serious shooters too much. It can handle low-light situations quite well, but it lacks an optical viewfinder and some of the controls shutterbugs might crave.

I was doing some research on-line and I saw an $800.00 price tag for this Canon camera, so, the price alone, in my opinion, will be a drawback. Also, this camera does not have the zoom capability for those who want nice close-ups.

As an avid photographer, I am not impressed with any video on any camera. If people want to take videos, get a HD video recorder. I still consider still photography as an art form. My Nikon has video capabilities and I have never used it, probably never will. But, I am also from the "Old School".
