Canon's foray into the mirrorless world was fraught with missteps, with its first few efforts lagging well behind the competition in focus speed. The EOS M5 ($979, body only) represents a big change—its autofocus system is speedy, and it can fire off images at a quick 8.2fps burst rate. The EOS M5 records crisp 1080p video in MP4 format at 24, 30, or 60fps.
But the problem with MP4 is, when you plan to edit the MP4 file with iMovie, you may be able to do this, but may be unable to. So what's the matter? Well, this depends on. Some hybrid camcorders can capture video footage in both the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 formats. If your camcorder has captured video footage in both formats, iMovie may only recognize the MPEG-2 movies when accessing the footage from the Camera Import window. MPEG-4 movies recorded with these devices may not be shown.
