I enjoy reading Ben's and also Marco Nero's posts being two people actually using specific gear

I've gone through many SLRs including Rebels from the original 300D  to Canon 60D, compact SL1 plus using more expensive models renting for paying jobs like the 7D II and 5D III.

After a trip 2 years ago with my SL1 and G7X II (I also shot the original G7X on a 2 week trip to Italy before getting the G7X II ) I came home and sold all my SLR gear and committed to compact cameras. The G7X II has been stellar but like Ben recently purchased a M100, 15-45mm lens and EF-M - EF / EF-S adapter.

I borrowed a friend's EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lens and put it on my M100 yesterday. All I can say is WOW......The DPAF, larger APS-C sensor and IQ is fabulous.

I am resisting buying more EF-M lenses until I rent a few and see what I really need. So far the 15-45mm is fine along with EF-M adapter. I do want to only have lenses with IS so we'll see what develops in the M line.

I did consider the M6 as I learned to live without any EVF. Framing and shooting a screen from my iPhone 6s Plus to G7X II and now M100 hasn't been a problem at least for me. A hat or my left hand works well LOL......

I actually liked that the M100 doesn't have the rear fussy dial around the 4 way controller and have been using the touch screen 90%. Granted I've been using touch screens since my 60D and SL1 so for me it's second nature now.

One control not mentioned is the little dial around the shutter release. I think it's great! It's out of the way, controls certain functions and low profile.

I'll use my M100 as my main camera for everything except for underwater shooting (full disclosure I'm a Fantasea and Ikelite dealer.)

With my iPhone 6s Plus, G7X II (and small UW system) and now the great M100 I'm traveling lighter than ever
