At first glance, this machine is not very different from the EOS M, and its overall design is still fashionable and fresh. The front design of the fuselage is simple and clear. The original black handle has become a more uniform white. The aluminum alloy fuselage has good durability. The surface of the fuselage has been painted, and the feel is smooth and delicate.

The overall size of Canon EOS M2 is 104.9 × 65.2 × 31.6mm, and the weight without batteries is 238g. Even if batteries are included, the overall weight is only 274g, which is quite portable. The overall shape of EOS M2 is slightly smaller than that of EOS M, but the overall shape has not changed much. Canon EOS M2 also has two microphones above the lens bayonet, which is convenient for recording sound during video shooting.

Canon EOS M2 back  

The overall layout on the back of Canon EOS M2 fuselage is slightly clean, and the back of the fuselage is equipped with a 3.0-inch 1040000 pixel LCD screen, which supports touch operation. However, we also noticed that the Canon EOS M2 screen was not designed as a flip screen, perhaps to take care of the size. And because this camera uses touch operation, the necessary navigation keys, menu keys, etc. are designed as physical keys.

Canon EOS M2 top and bottom

The side design of Canon EOS M2 is the same as that of the previous EOS M, and the shoulder strap interface is also designed; The layout of the top and bottom remains the same. The only difference is that Canon EOS M2 adds a Wi Fi indicator light on the top of the fuselage to facilitate users to share Wi Fi wirelessly. SD card and battery are under the hatch cover at the bottom of the fuselage, which is relatively simple; On the top, you can see the hot shoe, horn, switch, indicator light, function dial and shutter.

     Although the overall appearance of Canon EOS M2 is not much different from that of the first generation, the performance in details is good; The bayonet of EOS M2 is smaller than that of the old EF bayonet, and the flange distance has become very short. However, EF lens can be transferred through the adapter ring.

Canon EOS M2 Back Key Layout

The key layout of Canon EOS M2 is relatively reasonable. Since most functions can be realized through touch, the necessary functions are designed as solid keys. This has the advantage of increasing the area of a single key and making it more convenient for users to operate.

Interface on the side of the fuselage

Canon EOS M2's body interface is relatively simple, with only USB, MIC and HDMI interfaces; The layout of these interfaces is different from that of EOS M, but their functions remain unchanged.

　
The front handle of the fuselage continues the design concept of Canon EOS M and independent video keys

Canon EOS M2 has designed a video recording button separately, and a small piece of plastic skin is designed in the thumb area to facilitate thumb operation; Maybe this design is very close to practical use, so the previous design is retained on Canon EOS M2.

Canon EOS M2 battery

Canon EOS M2 is powered by LP-E12 battery with a battery capacity of 875mAh; For driving such a miniature EOS camera, the battery capacity is still slightly small, which is fully reflected in our later shooting.

　
The mode turntable provides knurling process and key layout on the top right shoulder of the fuselage

The turntable around the top shutter of Canon EOS M2 is not a functional turntable in the traditional sense. It has only four gears, full automatic mode, ordinary photography mode, creative filter and video shooting mode. Compared with Canon EOS M, creative filter shooting mode is added. In addition, Canon EOS M2 also provides knurling process around the mode turntable, which has a good damping ratio and is convenient to rotate.
