The Canon EOS-M5 is the brand's first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, featuring 22.3 x 14.9 mm sensor and 24.2MP Dual Pixel CMOS, which is found in the Canon 80D as well. This provides amazing autofocus speed and tracking performance. It also includes image stabilization thanks to its 5-axis compensation on its hybrid stabilization functionalities, as per CNet.
