I like pixels.
I have 18m on my M.
But theres 24m on the M3.
I'd be quite surprised if you are able to tell the difference on a print at any normal size up to poster prints...
Hopefully it should enable you to have more cropping options.True, but I have this urge to preserve the moments in as high a quality as I can afford, I don't know why!
although I just worked out that 18mp is still enough pixels up to a 6k screen so as you say in reality there will be no difference, I can already see the hairs on my face
My M3 got dispatched to Tenso today. Hopefully the wait won't be too long.
Mine should now be on its way. Just paid the Y5700 fee
The payment broke down as
4600 Yen Shipping Fee
1000 Yen Handling Fee
100 Yen for insurance
Total 5700 Yen or £32
I replied to their battery email this morning then within an hour got an email saying it had arrived at my Tenso address and was under my page.
Ticked the box that said insured!
Basically it lists the shipping options in a table. EMS is first as its the recommended one (and also the only one that offers insurance). It shows Insured and Uninsured with a check box next to them both and defaults to Uninsured. I just clicked the box next to Insured and it added 100 Yen
Did anyone else get a prompt to define the package value? Did you put 58000y in there?
Hmm... Wonder my mine's different then. It's saying they can't ship a 0 value package. Oh well, never mind I'll add it and see what happensI didn't get a prompt, it was already declared as the price I paid.
Ok all done. Next shipping date was showing as Tuesday with estimated delivery 2 days after that.
I've just been asked to video a friends wedding ("no pressure or anything...") so I hope I can use it for that. It's next Sunday!I'm really hoping it gets here next Thursday - be great to have a play over Easter.
If not the Tuesday afterwards I guess.

Can anyone recommend a decent (and cheap... Or value for money at least) external microphone?
I use a Zoom H1 which is very good but may be more than you want to spend.
It's on Amazon with it's accessory kit at the moment for £89 delivered

The big advantage of it is that you can either connect it to your DSLR as a microphone or use it separately and record directly on it (then merge with video in PP).
It's available for less without the kit but if your using outside you'll want a wind shield.
Thanks both, will check out those options.Tascam DR07mk2 for me, one of my best purchases ever...
The latter. Tenso provide you with a shipping address you can use for shopping with Japanese stores, then Tenso forward the package on when they receive it.This is interesting. I have been following this tenso thing. How do you use it? Do tenso do the shopping and shipping for you? Or do you have to purchase and get the seller to ship to tenso?
Ok. What about customs at our end? Are you all asking tenso to declare a lower value?
Getting closer to some comparrisons then
Let's hope the battery life is better this time, otherwise us early adopters are going to be stuck with only one battery! No sign of any aftermarket batteries yet.
I didnt realise it was a different battery, fingers crossed its better.
Yeah can't even find official Canon ones at the moment o_0Let's hope the battery life is better this time, otherwise us early adopters are going to be stuck with only one battery! No sign of any aftermarket batteries yet.
Even with those charges still quite a saving for those that have ordered from Japan.Can you guys let me know what sort of customs charges are applied for you guys when it arrives in the UK? For a £335 cost it should be around £65 plus a £10-20 processing fee. For the lucky ones, it should be free. Just want to get an idea of costs
