Good, but just..not impressive, and does not compete.

Re: Good, but just..not impressive, and does not compete.

I was just shooting sunset in the sea with M3 and 11-22mm, and af worked fine also with 6 stops ND-filter and 30 minutes after sunset (I focused to the rocks + water in front of me). But if I'm trying to shoot with longer f6.3 ef-m zooms, af doesn't work very well in lower light. I'm now using M50 with those longer zooms, af works much better and if not, focus peaking is great in manual focusing / viewfinder. Ai servo works also much better with 28mm macro in M50 than in M3, for shooting insects.

So my M3 is "glued" to the 11-22mm because that combination works just fine in my use. From time to time I have thought, it would be nice to try also M6, but I doubt I would get much better results (image quality wise) with it when using 11-22mm lens, that I get now with M3. I think M3 + 11-22mm is great combination for the money, for shooting landscapes. I like the M3's external controls too.
