Canon EOS M10 review updated mid-range canon hybrid camera 2019

introduction

Along with a larger APS-C imaging sensor, the new M10 features a wider ISO sensitivity range (from 125 to 12,800 ISO, expandable from 25,600), HD video capture, 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD, built-in flash and Wi-Fi / . NFC Connectivity.

The redundant design excludes both an electronic viewfinder (EVF) and a hotshot, however, so it is not possible to attach an external ESF or an accessory EVF unit to the new EOS M10.

For $ 449, the EOS M10 kit supplies the new EF-M 15-45mm f / 3.5-6.3 IS STM lens that features image stabilization and click-free video capture on Canon's "stepping" autofocus motor .

The new 15-45mm lens also offers a retractable design, which shortens the length of the lens barrel and closes it for easy storage and transport when not in use.

The EOS M10 is also compatible with four other dedicated EF-M lenses, including a wide-angle 11–22 mm zoom, an 18–55 mm zoom, a fast-aperture prime, and a 55–200 mm telephoto zoom.

If that's not enough, it's possible through the $ 50 EF-EOS M lens adapter with a full lineup of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, opening up to a world of creative possibilities on the M10.

Canon EOS M10 measurement: no progress for EOS M sensor score

The Canon EOS M10's APS-C sensor achieves an overall DxOMark sensor score of 65 points, including a color depth score of 22.2 bits, a dynamic range score of 11.4 EV, and a low-light score of 753 ISO. This Canon hybrid sensor indicates no progress for image quality, with all tested EOS M sensors achieving the same 65-point score.

The EOS M, M2, and the new M10 all offer essentially the same results for color depth and dynamic range, but the M10 has regained a bit in the sports category, with a score of 855 on the M2 Has ISO 753. In real-world terms, this regression is not a huge difference for low-light performance, but it is odd, it uses the same size sensor and resolution.

It is also interesting to note that the sensor scores for the M10 are slightly behind the EOS 750 and 760D results in new Canon DSLRs from APS-C sensors, which claim scores of 70 and 71 points respectively.

A ranking of n terms, an overall DxOMark score of 65 points places the M10 at 165th for all sensors in our database and only within the top 50 for all hybrid camera sensors we tested. Against the highest-ranking APS-C sensor hybrids, such as the Samsung NX1 with a DxOMark score of 83 points, the EOS M10's sensor scores lag behind in all categories.

 In terms of sensor peak performance, this is where the greatest quality delivers - against the Samsung NX1, the EOS M10 is up one stop for color depth, about two stops behind for dynamic range, and for less. About one stop behind. Light ISO.

Let's analyze the results in more detail on the comparison page.
Canon EOS M10 vs Samsung NX1

We have observed a pattern of Canon APS-C sensors for dynamic range performance in base ISOs (where peak scores have been recorded), but ISO is gaining grounding as sensitivity increases. This is also true of the EOS M10 against the Samsung NX1, where the maximum dynamic range of N.21 at ISO 100 is 13.2 EV at about 11.4 EV, about 2 stops better than the EOS M10. By ISO 800, however, the difference has been reduced to one stop, 11.1 eV for the NX1 vs. 10.4 EV for the M10.

The NX1 records a good dynamic range of more than 10 EV at ISO 1600 compared to ISO 1000 on the M10. At sensitivity greater than ISO 1600, the difference is further increased, but the NX1 delivers around a third in the consistently better dynamic range between ISO 3200 to ISO 12800.

The pattern is not exactly the same for color sensitivity, where the N10 is well ahead of the M10 as the sensitivity increases. At ISO 100, the NX1's two-bit color gain is limited to just 1.6 bits at ISO 12800, which is the same for preventing better color on the Samsung Hybrid. In terms of recording a good color of around 20 bits, the one-stop gain is correct, with the NX1 offering 20.4 bits of color at ISO 800 compared to 19.8 bits on the M10 at ISO 400.

The difference in ISO performance and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR 18%) is less pronounced in the printed results, with the two lines being very close on the graphs. It is said that, compared to ISO 400 on the NX1 M10, SNR at ISO 800 records 18% 32dB, as indicated by the yellow dotted line on the graph.


f You already own a Canon EF or EF-S glass-filled bag for your DSLR as well as an EOS M Hybrid Fancy, so who should you go for? Okay, in terms of DxOMark sensor scores, it doesn't matter, because they essentially provide the same image quality in both the base ISO and the sensitivity range. So make your decision based on features, size, construction, etc. But if you can pick up an original EOS M at a good price in the second-hand market, it boasts the DXomark Score as the latest EOS M10 model .

Canon EOS M10 review updated mid-range canon hybrid camera The conclusion

The original but well-priced crowd of the Canon EOS M10 adds another option to the hybrid market. For Canon enthusiasts who own a range of EF or EF-S glasses, compatibility via the cheap $ 50 EOS EF-M adapter makes the M10 an interesting proposition.

 However, in terms of DxOMark sensor scores, the results have not progressed over the new Canon Hybrid release, and the EOS M, EOS M2 and the new EOS M10 achieve very similar scores.

What's more, despite featuring the same physical-sized APS-C sensor as the EOS 750D, scores for the EOS M10 are slightly behind Canon DSLRs. Against the highest scoring hybrid APS-C sensor in the DxOMark database, the EOS M10 is also off-speed, with models from Samsung and Sony achieving better results in the base ISO and sensitivity range.

At $ 449, the simple and compact EOS M10, including the new retractable 15-45mm kit lens, will certainly appeal to some consumers, but better image quality is available in the hybrid market for a little more money.
