With an overall DxOMark Sensor Score of 72 points, Canon EOS M3 ranks alongside the T6s(70 points), T6i(71 points), Canon’s higher-end EOS 70D (68 points) and EOS 7D Mk II (70 points). However, it is behind the mirrorless Sony A5100 (80 points) , A6000 (82 points), as well as DSLRs such as the Nikon D5500 (84 points).
Canon EOS M3 Vs. Sony A6000 Vs. Olympus OM-D E-M10
Conclusion from DxOMark “As we’ve stated before in the reviews for the EOS 760D and 750D which adopt a related sensor, Canon has made worthwhile improvements over the previous generation 18-Mpix unit, but the still relatively weak results at base ISO continue to hold sensor performance back, at least when compared with the very best APS-C models. At high ISOs, the Canon sensor continues to impress, and its inclusion in the EOS M3 together with the other refinements in control layout and handling make it a compelling camera. The lens range remains limited, but with the optional EF adapter and EVF, the EOS M3 looks like an attractive — if somewhat pricey — option for Canon users.”
