Definitely going to try and get a few snaps in this weekend. Would have done today had I known the forecast days rain wasn't going to materialise.The weather looking quite good tomorrow so off to Polperro for the day with my M
Anyone else out this weekend?
very nice set David, wb looks ok on my screen, but the last one has a magenta cast to it. I like the compositions on them to.
On an m3 note there are more high iso shots posted on this flickr photostream
Took my kit out yesterday including my 70d, could only find one memory card, It ended up going in the M and my 70d didn't get used! Light was a pain in the butt especially the sky. But the sun came out for a few minutes. Full size are on my flickr.

Can anyone recommend where I can pick up a cheap as chips evf for the m?
Also do we know if the evf is the same across all models?
Canon are so slow with this innovation stuff. Sony is way way ahead.
Care to expand? I live in the Canon world so I'm not up to speed on the latest offerings from other companies. I'm aware the general consensus is that Sony sensors do a better job with dynamic range and I've read about Sony's recent developments with IBIS. I've not heard of anything that would tempt me away from a Canon system as yet though (I believe Sony, and other manufacturers still have a lot of catching up to do with regard to a complete solution). Sure, I'd agree Canon are a bit slow to market with the latest trends, but then they have a very well regarded brand to protect so I'm not too surprised. It would be good to understand what you think puts Sony so far ahead though; I'd be willing to switch if there was a better offer on the table and it was cost effective enough.Canon are so slow with this innovation stuff.

Thanks for sharing. Did you see the latest one? I'd like to confirm if the M3 in this was using the same SD Card and shooting Raw, along with the M. Just didn't seem to hit the buffer at all!Thanks Micheal.
On another M3 note, a guy in Japan already has the production M3 and has a few videos on YouTube.
Un-boxing video:

Of course I can't understand a word of them but quite good videos.
I'm hoping this means the M3 is already shipping in Japan

I'd be very happy if this is the case, and it bodes well for recycle times!
Ah soz, I only watched the embedded ones, but followed the link to see the rest on the channel. So was the M shooting in JPEG also? Guess I should test on my M and see what it does...Hi Tim,
That's the 4th video I listed.
Unfortunately that wont be shooting RAW I don't think. I'm sure I read something like 5 continuous snaps before buffering in RAW mode so I guess in the video he's shooting JPEG.
For me this isn't an issue as I don't really shoot anything that's fast moving anyway. But for anyone with the original M it's quite a bit quicker in RAW (and can shoot continuously in JPEG)
Really looking forward to this camera arriving now. I love landscape and find not being able to see the screen sometimes a nightmare. The tilt and EVF will sort this.
The other real plus is the grip in my mind. Walking around for a few hours with the M gives me a bit of cramp but the M3 has a nice grip.
Oh, and tethering (although it may be just via WiFi). Miss this feature from my old 7d and will use it a lot on my new camera.

Yeah looking forward to the EVF, it would be really useful for my macro stuff but need to figure out how to trigger off camera flash while using it! Might just have to rely on the tilt screen. The exposure compensation dial will make life so much easier for me!
I use it for controlling exposure with ETTL flash. I'll just dial in the aperture based on magnification to give me the DoF I want (there's a sweet spot for DoF compared to diffraction at different magnifications), the shutter speed will usually be suitably high (I usually work with full flash and don't let much ambient light through). If I'm chasing a bug around though the exposure can change quickly as it moves across different terrain. At the moment I have to hit the info button and change it from the LCD screen which usually means having to find the bug all over again, recompose, find the focal point... Having the dedicated dial I can adjust without looking will be a huge bonus for me!I've read on a few forums that they find the exposure dial useless so I'm pleased to see someone else that's looking forward to having it
For me I like to spend a while taking each photo and after dialling in the usual settings and taking a test shot I then usually check the histogram and alter the exposure compensation. I was beginning to think I was weird

I've had a quick scan through the article and it seems to confirm my current understanding. Canon hardly get a look in. What it doesn't do is demonstrate the real world difference between sensors (which isn't much imo) and it states it's only comparing cameras on one factor, low light performance. Besides, Canon are about to launch their next generation of sensors so the discussions can be reignited all around the InternetThis "Which is the best sensor?" question has been to-ing and fro-ing on numerous forums for what seems to be forever. I found the link below quite interesting.

I just picked your post Pete as an example of one of many but I am not understanding the point of buying a very compact camera and then sticking huge EF lenses on it? Obviously it is no longer compact but also the lenses will handle/balance much better on a DSLR. For me the EOS M is an alternative to my DSLR's for when I want to travel light and I have no intention of mounting my EF 100-400 Mk2 on it!
Glad to hear it's being put to good use!I bought an easycover one from SaintSLR on here which looks exactly the same. I like it and it hasn't left the camera since it arrived but I guess they won't be for everyone. The buttons line up perfectly and it protects the camera well. Not sure it improves the grip much but then I use a neck strap.
For anyone else that ordered the M3 from Amazon Japan they have just bought the release date FORWARD to the 26th March
Just a heads up for anyone in here,I shall be listing my EOS -M kit up shortly.
Mine has just gone into the classifieds .
Any reason for selling?
Well if you are asking both of us Michael, I am about to go over to the dark side so just want to get shot of it.I would let the wife have it but she is happy enough with either her iPad or phone for her photo needs.
I was thinking of doing exactly the same as you, the 100d as a second smaller body. How do you find it size wise against the M?Mine has just gone into the classifieds .
I was curious. so are you sticking with mirrorless then
A very nice way to end up penniless Enjoy it.Na,going for a D750 and some glass so I can end up penniless
