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

Yes, and no...

First of all, thanks for your comments on this older camera model.  It certainly echoes what many of us feel about the M3.

Ever since I got the M3 - which was some 3 years ago - there was one specific area that I was "not" content with - and that was the high ISO capabilities (read "clean" here).  Heck, many of my older M43 cameras did a better job are retaining cleaner high ISO scenarios than this larger sensor-sized M3 - now go figure.

Colorwise, I've had no issues since I shoot in RAW mode.  I still have my M3 and right now I have the EF-S 55-250 attached to mine (via adapter of course).  I keep the EF-S 10-18 on the M2.

But as you mentioned the M line is slowly getting better and better - however, I must admit that with regards to Canon's once indisputable high ISO capabilities (a decade ago), the M line is still not where it should be in this regard.

Just my opinion - just sayin.'
