Canon EOS M2 18.0 MP Digital Camera with 18-55MM F/3.5-5.6 IS EF-M STM Lens (White) The second generation in Canon's mirrorless interchangeable line of cameras, the EOS M2 makes only a few tweaks to the original model. A new hybrid CMOS sensor allows for greatly improved auto focus. The addition of Wi-Fi allows for wireless picture sharing. And some minor changes to the buttons and body allow the advanced amateur better control of the camera.

SOME OF THE SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM AMAZON :
1) Where are my socks? WHERE ARE MY SOCKS?!?! - I needed a second camera to shoot with and well this blew my socks off, there are search parties looking for my socks right now. Autofocus is weird, granted, but with an EF to EOS-M mount adapter my travel kit has reduced in size from a m4/3s with multiple lenses, for walk around with the full sized dSLR and lenses for the work stuff; to just the dSLR with lenses and the M2 plus an adapter. Though I will admit that I did buy a EOS-M kit lens because it was so dang cheap (ebay for 60 dollars score!) and why not? FWIW it's replaced a 6 year old first gen 7D as my second body at some things, such as on this helicopter tour i did recently without really pixel peeping or checking the exif most people can't tell which camera is which. https://www.flickr.com/photos/stormyteacup/albums/72157660808478337.

2) So despite its obvious flaws it was an good option for a second body -- or for a ... - I've read a lot of reviews that say basically "Canon contented itself with just a few minor tweaks on the flawed M version." I think that might understate the impact of the changes they made. The original M was attractive to me because it can use Canon's lenses. So despite its obvious flaws it was an good option for a second body -- or for a camera with a little less bulk. It's missing a little bit in controls, but it took superb photos.
The biggest problem with the M, noted by most people who commented on it, was the incredibly slow metering. That problem has been fixed. I took the camera out for a good workout and it's operation is pleasingly fast. I was photographing on a foggy morning and it captured the shades of light very well. It's never going to make you forget the EOS cameras, but for a more portable camera or a second body that can use your existing lenses, this is a nice camera.
