Review Summary

Well this camera is interesting. I takes OK photos. Video is a little jumpy even with the digital stabilization turned on. The price is attractive. However, if I were thinking about getting a camera with an interchangeable lens, I would compare this M1 to any of the used m 4/3 cameras that are available at the same price of lower.

Yi, a China-based company that's already made a mark with their action cam offerings, has broken into the world of mirrorless photography with the M1. Included in this starter package is a 42.5mm prime lens, which is equivalent to about 85mm on a full-frame DSLR, as well as a memory card and necessary charging and connecting cables.
Micro Four Thirds Mount
The Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount system emphasizes versatility and creativity. It sets a standard for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. With this lens mount, the M1 stays relatively compact to give you a balanced and portable handheld package.
Sensor & Image Quality
The sensor used on the M1 is a Sony IMX269 20MP image sensor, which delivers accurate color and fine image detail. The camera also supports 4k/30fps HD video recording.
LCD Touchscreen Interface
With a touch-based interface, the M1 eliminates a lot of clicking around to give you the control you need over shooting factors. Easily configure paramaters like shutter speed, ISO, aperture, and more.
Impressive Connectivity
Built-in WiFi and BLE Bluetooth offer stable connections and fast media sharing. The YI M1 app supports automatic day-date and time information synchronization, and the app can also push firmware updates, keeping your camera and lens on the cutting edge.
