Original Canon EOS M with updated IS STM zoom, the cheapest Canon mirrorless kit at essentially zero cost.
The Canon EOS M with EF-M 15-45mm IS STM pairs the original Canon mirrorless body with a later-generation stabilised zoom — an unusual combination since the 15-45mm was introduced after the original M body. The EOS M was Canon's first mirrorless camera from 2012.
The 18-megapixel APS-C sensor delivers Canon image quality, though the original M's contrast-detection AF was criticised as slow. The EF-M 15-45mm IS STM from a later era provides stabilisation and quiet STM focusing that the original M-era lenses lacked.
Build quality is compact Canon with the original M's slim design. The updated 15-45mm IS STM provides better zoom performance than the original M-era kit lenses, creating a more capable kit than was originally available.
The original EOS M with updated zoom offers the cheapest Canon mirrorless kit on the used market. The slow AF limits action photography but provides adequate everyday focusing for casual use at essentially zero cost.
