cheap, nice little camera - beware of higher ISO

"Beware" might be too strong a word

IME the original EOS M is a bit less prone to "banding" at higher ISOs than its contemporary Sony counterpart - about a stop better by my reckoning.

Obviously if you really need low noise at moderately high ISO or extreme settings that are usable, there will be better choices for a lot more $$$.

Since I don't object to some visible noise in dim conditions, I am more than satisfied with the $50 body that came with my 22mm pancake lens. 

ISO 3200
