+ Automatic lens cover
Cons - small wide angle

- little manual control
- small wide angle
Conclusion The new RF-series M5 partially blocked Canon advanced technology components that are reflected in the professional models.Restrictions created by the small Canon wide-angle lens, the low-resolution display and limited manual control.But if you also like to experiment with filming and closely incorporated into the camera, certainly with the semi-automatics hinbekommen and Cinema presets quite attractive photographs.Especially low-light performance and audio equipment noteworthy in this price class.
