Re: Who is happy with your new M3?

No issues except focus is still a little slow. I will have to work my way through the long list of complaints to see if mine has any of these problems.

As for "it doesn't work with my Tamron" this is yet another reason to avoid off-brand stuff. It's not that the optics are bad; it's just that things have become so complex and sophisticated, the likelihood of a problem or mismatch with Tamron, Sigma, etc is pretty high and needless to say, the camera manufacturer will not go out of their way to solve a problem with another company's product.

I might add, I like the focus peaking, the HDR function is fun, as is the feature that combines multiple images for lower noise. Of course some of this is jpg-only but same on my 5D3. For what I do, the double axis level with the 11-22 lens is great. The EVF is just ok but since they threw it in basically for free.... I may even find a use for the flip-up screen although I wish you could fold it in for protection.
