RE: Little dial around the shutter release...

Yes, you're right - that dial around the shutter release is a gem, isn't it!  It becomes so easy to adjust aperture and/or shutter speeds and it sits perfectly where you can adjust it in a most comfortable manner.

And with regards to the EF-S 55-250 IS STM, I would have never figured to like such a lens as much as I did.  But when I got one at a fantastic price, I was taken aback at the exceptional clarity of this optic.  Currently, I have it attached to my M3 and an adapter.  Sure, it's a larger lens, but in this case, for a long zoom, it is unmatched for its price vs performance ratio.

And since you mentioned EF-S lenses, although I've been screaming for Canon to release more EF-M lenses (and good ones at that), there are two EF-S lenses that defy expectations in my book, and they are:  1) The EF-S 10-18 F4.5-5.6 IS STM (the clarity of this lens is unbelievable for the price point), and; 2) the EF-S 55-250 we just talked about.  I would suggest to anyone with M bodies to look at these two very inexpensive lenses that manage to have very high level optical characteristics.
