Re: Would you recommend the M10?

In photography terms:

Vauxhall = Sony.

Ford = Nikon.

You have a friend or family member that is looking for a small, easy to use camera that takes better photos than their cell phone. They want to take photos of their kids and may add a telephoto zoom in the future. They may also shoot a few videos. Basically, they are looking for something easy, but with the power to handle the scenarios where their phone clearly falls short.

Would you recommend the M10 to them?

Consider some of the competing cameras that are all currently priced at $549 with a kit lens; Sony A5100, Fuji X-A2, Olympus E-PL7....

Some years ago I used to know the Editor of renowned motoring magazine.

At the time I was in the midst of an agonizing dilemma of what would be my new company car (sad I know but anyone who has studied their company car list in minute detail might know what I was going through!)

Anyway, so I asked Jim (not his real name) - "Between the Vauxhall 2.0i GLS Special Rep's Edition (and for those of you who don't know Vauxhall is the British arm of GM) and the Ford 2.0 Ghia 5 Speed Junior Management Special, which should I choose?"

"Neither" said Jim. "Get a Caterham 1.6 Supersport and take the bus to work."

And from the point of view of a motoring expert who knew that both the Vauxhall and the Ford were the automotive equivalent of white goods, he was probably right - even if his advice was completely impractical

The moral of this tale is that non-photographers are often better not taking advice from enthusiasts. We know too much but have forgotten what it is that they actually need.
