Does anyone know if canon are going with an optional EVF, would it be possible for it to be backwards compatible?
Google says "no." Pah!

....until, I suspect, you see the price????....
Anyone going to post their guess of the price?
I reckon around £600...
The thing that made the M such a great camera was the "Argos" price, if the M3 is as you reckon about £600 (and I reckon similar) then I really don't know if it would be worth the upgrade for me, really will depend on the spec, especially as already got a 70D as well. Would love it if they offered it a reduced price to get people's confidence back in the M system..Anyone going to post their guess of the price?

Agreed, probably will be on a par with the G1x mk2. I believe that has optional EVF.I think the camera itself will be somewhat more competitive, but then the optional EVF will knock it back up again
Looks as though it has a aperture setting dial around the shutter button and an 'm-fn' multifunction button next to it. Hopefully it will be assignable like the 7D/5D3. Looks very promising!
I've had severe 11-22mm lust this week but I might just hold off until Friday. Hope they do a body only option.
So will there be a sudden glut of even cheaper, lightly used EOS-Ms in the for sale section shortly?

Will you be making a purchase as soon as, or will you be waiting for a little while?Not from me there will not! I will keep both my M cameeas. The M3 has funds waiting for it.....

I do like the look of the M3, currently waiting to see what the announcement brings as looking to ditch my dslr for something lighter. had liked the original M but lack of grip means it doesn't feel right in my hands. is there any options out there people can suggest?
If not I might be going M4/3 and getting something like a Panasonic GX1/GX7
All this talk of the new M3 announcements, I'm thinking now might be a good time to loose the credit card somewhere in the house, even if only to avoid "early adopter" temptation!
Looks interesting for occasional use, anyone here tried one yet ?I have thought about one of these, not got round to trying one though
Nor me. As my M is my 2nd body I was going to install Magic lantern to have a "play" with. Has anyone on here tried it on the M yet ?So will there be a sudden glut of even cheaper, lightly used EOS-Ms in the for sale section shortly?
I did, but uninstalled it not long after. I think I encountered the infamous shutter bug, and didn't have time to research how to fix it, so of it came. It didn't seem as stable as on my 550D, and a bit fiddlier to navigate. I only really wanted it for the focus peaking anyway, so it wasn't worth keeping on at the time. I'll add it back if I want to do any timelapse etc. in future.Nor me. As my M is my 2nd body I was going to install Magic lantern to have a "play" with. Has anyone on here tried it on the M yet ?
Quick ISO select on the back too. That's one of the things that annoys me about the current model, it' a pain to do quickly via the touchscreen. Looks like canon have had a good rethink around how it handles in general which can only be good.And one of the back....
Def a tilting screen then
Now, if we could just see the specs....
I must say, with the added grip it will no doubt be easier to handle, but it just doesn't look as sexy as the earlier models (and not when compared to Sony's offering). Another mantra to repeat to myself "it's only a tool."
Agreed.. I haven't even used the flash that came with my M, would rather it was a pop up EVF like the RX100m3..I feel the pop-up flash is a bit pointless too.
Now that's a good shout.. Agreed tho won't hold any hope of it..If they were really being innovative they would have made it so the pop-up flash will pop right out and can be replaced with an EVF designed to slot into that spot. A nice modular option so people can tailor their set up to their own requirements. Of course they haven't though...
