Re: Who is happy with your new M3?

I took delivery of two cameras on Thursday, one of them just hours before I departed on a short 3 day photo trip. The two cameras are on opposites ends of the spectrum of types (I would be interested in). So, I was learning and discovering on the fly, something I normally do not do but the convergence was uncontrollable.

The other camera got 99% of my attention on this trip but I managed to get a few snapshots in with the M3 on a overcast day. No tripod/monopod shooting.

This is the first time since 2005 I have used or processed anything other than FF. Is this over-sharpened? I am discombobulated.

I am generally happy with the camera although it has more the feel of using an iphone than a DSLR unless using the EVF, but it is not as compact with the EVF attached as I would have hoped. With the EVF, it seems almost as deep as my 6D.

Rick Knepper, photographer, shooting for pleasure. I use tools, not brands. It is better to have It and not need It than need It and not have It. Mystery Gardner: "Rick, you have a passion for photography but not a position. That's a good thing." Based on 2014 keepers, I shot the following percentages: 5D3=42%, D800=31%, 6D=25% & D3x=2%. Various RAW comparisons at Link below. Includes 5D3 vs D800E (new uploads), 5D3 vs. 6D, Zeiss lenses etc. https://app.box.com/s/71w40ita6hrcfghojaie
