It's a well documented fact that only the very latest batch with a new f/w will work with the M3 older ones (which many retailers still have) have to be returned to Tamron for a f/w update.If the lens works for the M M2 can't see why it cant work M3 & not sure what you mean by issue...?

Nope sorry but yes def worth the upgrade imho.Anyone seen any good deals on the M3 recently? Hopefully I will have sold a lens at the end of the week so will be able to buy one. I am assuming that it is a worthwhile upgrade from the original M?
The 100d is a good little camera (it's what my missus uses).
Has anyone seen the new Canon EOS M10 that's about to be released?
Basically an entry model but the new kit lens on it looks interesting and will be available on it's own.

Do they say much about the new lens and if so, what was the impression given?Just got December's Digital Photo mag & bit of a right up if anyone's interested.
Think your'd be better of keeping with the M than the M10 as its more an entry level camera.Both could interest me love my m but would like better af at an affordable price and I hardly use the kit lens as it is stupidly big!
Still waiting for more pancake eos-m primes but canon don't seem keen to deliver!
Thanks for the tips on where to buy an M3 but it looks like I will be waiting a bit longer as the money from a recent lens sale is now going to buy my wife a new iPad...
I think you will struggle to keep the size down. Sigma 150-600 is probably your best choice atm, but it's certainly not M size!Looking for ?-600 lens for my M3 anyone know of a compact size that would fit the style of M3
Replied in your other threadHow do people find the focus peaking on the M3? I am looking to buy an MPE65 in the near future and wonder if the M3 might be the best body to use it on. Also can you tether the M3?
Great tip Steve, I have an EW-54 knocking around in a drawer somewhere. I will order a step up ring and give the hood a function instead of lying in a drawer. Good call
What brand of step up ring did you use by the way or was it a generic.
I shouldn't think there would be huge variations in rim thickness amongst the various step up rings but in this case and the fact you stated it was a perfect fit then tolerances may be tight.
So I won't take any chances and order from your link.
Cheers Steve
Thanks for your advice - being able to add an external mic would be preferable so maybe the 'M' would be a better option. Having said that, I took a look around earlier and have found the 'M2' on Digitalrev site and the package they offer is amazing. Camera body, 2 lenses - 22mm f2 & 18-55 stm, Canon mount adaptor to use EF lenses, speedlight 90EX plus the usual battery & charger for £299 delivered. I think I'm correct in saying that the M2 does have a mic socket and better AF than the M so if you have any thoughts on that I would appreciate it.@wardy07. Ooh difficult one because they are so different. Okay, I don't have an M3 so can only comment on paper specs. However the EOS M which I do have (latest firmware obviously) produced great video for very little outlay. Remember the sensor is the same as the 650D which is no slouch at video recording.
So is it up to the job ? Yes of course it is but is the M3 better ? Well that depends on what you want and how much extra you are prepared to pay . The M 3s bonus points.....
Flip screen
Higher IQ from the 24mp sensor
Focus peaking
Optional EVF
Cons for video shooting
No mic socket for external audio recording ( although there may be a workaround )
How important are those to you ? This ultimately is what should be driving your decision.
