Re: M3 owners - Is it a worthwhile upgrade from the M?

I wish I could give you a simple yes or no. In my opinion, our responses will be pretty much subjective, depending on how important some features may be to the individual....such as the EFV.

I have the M1 and recently added the M3. I've not noticed too much difference in IQ, but the EFV is making the difference for me. Having a choice, touchscreen or EFV, is really nice. If you have no interest in an EFV, I'm not too sure you will find a significant difference to justify an upgrade. AF speed, some faster, but not blazingly.

It would be nice if someone near where you live would allow you to put your sdcard in their M3, hold it, check it out, snap a few pics...then you would have a better idea.

I'm in southern CA. and anyone who would like to check out my M3...I'm willing.
