  • True, I guess I was meaning more from the camera designers perspective rather than from an adapter/end user modification.  A camera company could easily make cameras with 2 micro SD card slots...
  • My thought is switch to micro SD, two micro SD cards would take up no more space than 1 SD card.  Same is true with D7000, A99, etc.  They use SD cards, where two take up about the same space as 1...
  • Not in most cases, I leave mine enabled all the time on my camera, and actually many cameras are doing away with front curtain entirely.  I have never noticed artifacts from my Samsung NX300 or...
  • I spent a couple hours on it and it looks like the build directions aren't complete, at least for the Ubuntu software I was using (a different version then they use).  I imagine there are some...
  • My point here was, do you really need a 24-70mm and stabilization?  Could you get a 35 or 50mm OIS if you want the large aperture, or as someone else pointed out, there might be a Sigma model that...
  • You can get an alpha body pretty cheap, could always go that route for when you want to use a 24-70mm f/2.8.  I have a Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 on an A99, would hate to use that lens on a NEX.  An...
  • I see them as useful for relatively centered subjects where you want the shallow depth of field flexibility advantage of full frame or maybe low light capability. If you want the improved image...
  • It is correctly described in full frame terms too, really all it does is negate crop factor.  Since APS-C sensor is more than twice as small the amount of total light it sees is less than half as...
  • Depends on how you look at it. Yes, light per unit area is twice as much on 12-35mm f/2.8 on m4/3 vs 24-70mm f/4 on full frame, but sensor is 4 times as large, so 24-70mm f/4 still presents the...

  • Huge depth of field is usually how you shoot an ultra wide, or up close with shallow depth of field. Otherwise APS-C is the wrong sensor size, get a full frame and a 16-35 or 14-24mm f/2.8 if you...

  • Thanks for posting side-by-side with adapted SLR lens. Really shows the size advantage of the EOS-M. Also, 55mm ND filters are cheap and small, or if you already have the other filters get a step...

  • It is f/5.6 at 22mm, not 35mm. Sony 10-18mm is really an f/5.6 lens in function, at least if you want decent corners. I much prefer the smaller size to this Canon. I have a Samsung 12-24mm...

  • If you want ultra wide and large aperture, the only good way to go is 135 format full frame. This plays to the strengths of a compact mirrorless body. Way to go Canon. The 22mm f/2 will nicely...

  • That looks like a replacement to the K-5 in a lot of ways, which would indicate something bigger and better for the top of the line model? Eric
  • Ned, I love how green it is out west during May/June.  I am from SE Wyoming and always love seeing photos of the open plains :) Eric
  • It is still available.  I would guess it will be replaced at some point with i-Fn version, but no idea when that will happen. Eric
  • Great shot!  Looks like the bird is doing yoga. Eric
