Overview

The Canon EOS M3 is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera built around a 24.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor paired with Canon's DIGIC 6 image processor. This combination delivers sharp, detailed stills and smooth Full HD 1080p video in a body that is far smaller and lighter than a traditional DSLR. The EF-M lens mount accepts Canon's line of compact mirrorless lenses, and with an optional adapter, photographers gain access to the vast library of Canon EF and EF-S glass — making the EOS M3 a versatile platform that can grow with your needs.

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity sets the EOS M3 apart for photographers who need to share images quickly or control the camera remotely from a smartphone or tablet. The tilting LCD touchscreen provides flexible composition for high and low angle shots, and the camera's hybrid CMOS AF III autofocus system covers a wide area of the frame for responsive focusing. Whether you are traveling light, shooting street photography, or looking for a capable secondary body, the EOS M3 offers a compelling balance of image quality, portability, and connectivity.
