Given the cost of lens repairs generally I can’t imagine it’d be worthwhile repairing it.i'M a bit gutted, my 22mm got damaged. Going to see what canon say for a repair cost, hope it's not stupidly high!

The Main dail around the shutter button on the M50. Can this be customised ie could it be used to adjust -3 to +3 exposure?
I have gone and bought the M6
I am going to buy an additional battery and wondered what’s available other than the silly priced Canon LP-E17
Would be good if it was coded and could be charged using the Canon charger
Ok, thanks so which should I buy
I read it the other day when I read your post in the eos r thread. It's certainly nice to know that they are not forgetting the m mount. I just wish they would at least supply a lens road map. If Canon were to ask me for feed back I'd want bigger/longer lasting batteries and get a joystick for focus point selection would be a good start.. I would also like to see a 70_300 m mount lens too. The most interesting thing about that article was the future for eos R!Although the (very long) linked interview is mostly about the EOS R, I post it here because there is discussion with the Canon official which mentions Canon's plans regarding the EOS M and thought it might interest some of you. [I no longer have my M5]

The relevant part is : "...the EOS M50 has been very popular since its launch.
Canon offers a wider range of cameras and lenses over any other brand to meet various demands of our customers. Currently, we are simultaneously developing new products in the DSLR family, EOS R series and EOS M series. The most important thing for us is to carefully listen to what customers want and make decisions accordingly."
So it would seem that contrary to some folks suggesting that development of the EOS M system would cease as the EOS R system expands, the EOS M is being further developed and is recognised as a very relevant part of the Canon EOS system as a whole.
The EOS M is mentioned elsewhere in the article but I would have to read it all again and it's long and of less interest to me personally to justify my time extracting it for you.
109 at hdew, that's only £5 more than the repair cost for mine that Canon quoted me. I still haven't decided what I'm doing with it yet.Buyer beware - mug pricing at Currys. I'm sure this has been going on some time at Currys where items are suddenly priced above the normal retail price but it seems to be becoming much more prevalent of late and it seems certain EF-M system items are targeted. The Canon EF-M 22mm lens is normally £195 at Currys, as it is at John Lewis some 500 yards away. I'd previously seen this item raised to around £220 at Currys and then offered as a 'sale' item by bringing it back to their normal price of £195. Today this lens was displayed at £239, both in store and on Currys website. It's likely to appear in due course as a sale item at £195 and a 'fabricated' saving of £44. HDEW offer a white box lens at a much more compelling £109 at the moment. The same occured with the EF to EF-M adapter at the time of the introduction of the M50, suddenly that shot up in price. I've also found that some items are advertised at a discount online are not reflected in store, the discount also not applied in store until the purchaser waves the website on a mobile phone under their noses. I have learnt never to buy anything from Currys without first going online to check pricing and any discounts.
I used the sigma 10-20 via an adapter on my original m, it seemed to work fine and did as good a job as on my 7d2. Other lenses I have used via the adapter are 18-135 stm, 40mm f2.8, 70-300 nano version and my sigma 150-600. All of which work great with no compromises.Couple of questions re lenses.
If looking for wide angle is the 10-22 ef-mother’s only or best choice?
Do many hear use a effort ef-mconerter is if so what lenses do you attach

Didn’t they recently have it for sale at £95?It's likely to appear in due course as a sale item at £195 and a 'fabricated' saving of £44.
The touch screen is quicker and more intuitive than a joystick (the best focal point controller since eye focus IMHO), the battery situation is no worse than any other mirrorless camera, I’m sure battery tech is top of every camera mfrs list for improvement. Though in reality, a battery lasts me all day of serious leisure shooting.If Canon were to ask me for feed back I'd want bigger/longer lasting batteries and get a joystick for focus point selection would be a good start.

At least it’s not a ‘pro’ tool, I would hate to be a Sony wedding shooter and have to consider multiple batteries for a days work, and have battery management to add to the list of things that might trip me up.
For me a joystick control is so much better, I have a weak right side and also have a tremor in my arms and hand especially on the right, so I can't always position the focus point properly and it becomes quite uncomfortable for me to do so.The touch screen is quicker and more intuitive than a joystick (the best focal point controller since eye focus IMHO), the battery situation is no worse than any other mirrorless camera, I’m sure battery tech is top of every camera mfrs list for improvement.

Yes, I really like it. I will most probably go with hdew, I have never brought from them before, but I have read many good reports about them.To be fair, it's actually a very good lens, I'd just scrap the old one and buy new.

Whilst I agree with your assertion of their inflated prices, it’s not all bad news.

Thanks Robin..... Quite a few folks here have bought from HDEW and I have done so a lot of times and also directly experienced excellent aftersales service regarding a repair. I have no hesitation in recommending them. I also highly recommend Wex for anyone who prefers a supplier with standard retail premises. You can visit HDEW but they don't hold stock (they used to be a high street retailer).
I'd like a joystick/thumb controller as well. I prefer to adjust the AF point while im looking at the scene. Saying that, i tend to use centre AF point most of the time anyway. I cant get on with dragging the AF point. Worked ok when i wanted it to, but i found id move it by accident sometimes when i picked the camera up.For me a joystick control is so much better, I have a weak right side and also have a tremor in my arms and hand especially on the right, so I can't always position the focus point properly and it becomes quite uncomfortable for me to do so.

Sometimes features look good on paper but not so much in practice.
Yes (well the m5 does), and my thoughts exactly.With practice a decent touch screen can be about as precise as you'd need, it becomes second nature to nail the point with one tap, and if you're just off a split second to adjust. I move mine while looking through the evf all the time - unless the G80 TS has better sensitivity? but I'd say they're on par from what I've seen. With this cam you can hit a button to return your AF to centre of it's strayed, does the M50 have similar?

I really liked the joystick and was a bit frustrated when I used a camera without it - till I got the M5, where the touchscreen is loads better than a joystick.
To centre the af point on the m50 you have to hold down a button to do so.I thought I'd never make good use of a touch screen LCD before I had one, now I'd find it hard to do without. I've never had a camera with a joystick, so can't compare but I imagine it being a fair bit slower to nail your point?

I managed to pick up a used 10-22 for a canny price so sorted.Couple of questions re lenses.

What I would like now is a cover for it when its in the bag with other items to protect it, any suggestions?
