To further expand upon my prior answer, the Canon EF to EF-M adapter allows you to use EF and EF-S lenses with the Canon EOS M mirrorless camera line. The adapter is powered by the camera and has electronic contacts. This allows the camera to enable autofocus, aperture control and access to EXIF data (your pictures will include metadata that will mark what lens was used, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, etc.). If you choose not to use autofocus, the EOS M5 is able to use "focus peaking". When enabled, you will see colored dots (you can choose red, yellow or blue) that will show what edges are sharply in focus when using manual focus. In addition to this, you can enlarge your view up to 10x on the electronic viewfinder or the back LCD screen to assist you with manual focusing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this is a APS-C crop sensor camera (like the Canon Rebel line) with a crop factor of 1.6x, so, for instance, a 50mm lens would equate to an 80mm lens (50 x 1.6 = 80) on this camera. It uses the same sensor and Digic 7 processor as the Canon 80D. At this time, Canon does not make a full-frame sensor mirrorless camera. Having said that, this camera (like the other cameras in the EOS M line), are able to use EF and EF-S lenses from Canon's DSLR line (this includes the lenses for their full-frame cameras like the 5D Mark IV or their crop sensor cameras like the Rebel line or the 80D) by way of the EF to EF-M lens adapter (sadly, yes, this would be a separate purchase). The SKU for the lens adapter is 6622926 (type this in the Best Buy web site search box), and it goes for $200. This would be the way to go as Canon has a very limited assortment of lenses for the EOS M line (two prime lenses- both wide angle- and three variable aperture zooms). That $200 adapter opens you up to a much larger variety of lenses to use.
