My EOS M Adventure
I originally bought the EOS M as an additional, 2nd body to replace my Powershot during the 2013 pre-summer firesale in Germany. Already after the first sessions I was deeply impressed by the IQ and came to love this small camera, so I bought the other EF-M lenses and the adapter, too.
The small size and low weight of the EOS M LIBERATED my way of performing photography, especially during travel and family life which I shoot mostly. My photographic gear has never been so pleasant and uncomplicated to carry as with the M-system.
Now all I wish for is a M3 with top-notch AF performance and some EF-M fix focals!
IQ is as good as it was with my 18MP 7D, but it could still use some improvement in lower noise.
Positives:
- IQ is on par with other 18 MP Canon DSLRs
- good color
- responsive & useful touch screen
- UI is intuitive for Canon user
- small, light and unobtrusive body
- looks good
- great lenses, most interesting focal range is now covered as EF-M mount and AF support:
11-22mm
18-55mm
55-200mm
18-200mm (Tamron)
22mm fix focal
- 90EX flash can work as master for wireless flash
- low cost after rebates (originally rather expensive)
- low noise up to ISO 800
Negative issues:
- blackout time between shots is too long
- AF speed must be better
- AF field is too large and indecisive when taking close ups or macros.
A spot AF would be great
- Due to lack of viewfinder prone to shake/blur with longer focal length (>100mm) despite image stabilization.
- battery life is low (I have 3 additional accus as backup)
- visible noise starting at ISO 1600
