DPreview's EOS M mirrorless forum:
In all the years I've been here, (though this forum is generally well behaved - compared to others), there's an extraordinary amount of whining that goes on lately. Almost all of it devoted to dissatisfaction - for one reason or another - towards the EOSM platform and Canon's drip-feed of lenses. Endless complaints that often end up with the words: "I'm moving to Sony".... even if it doesn't happen. I've been critical of occasional decisions by Canon too. But my routine is predictable: I mention why I dislike a marketing decision or product ...and then I either buy it or I don't. If I was unhappy with the M as a photographic tool I think I would have moved on years ago. Clearly that's not the case.

If you asked me today to show you my favorite picture taken with an EOS M camera, I simply couldn't do it. Because there are so many "favorite pictures" I've taken with the EOS M camera. It's been a wonderful experience. It's also been a marvelous performer... all the way back to the original EOSM which people felt had too slow an AF system to be effectively useful for them. I've taken many memorable and important pictures with the original EOS M. I went through my images just now and found there were literally hundreds of excellent keepers from that camera that helped me to record so many important moments over the years. I'm just grateful that I had a decent camera and lens to do this. And I think you should be too if you've been an EOS M owner. If you're having problems taking pictures with an EOS M camera it's probably not the camera that's the problem. EOS M cameras are reliable and I've never really been disappointed with their results. If for some reason I were to move to another platform, I'll still be happy with the shots I've taken with the M cameras.

So, you moved to Sony? ....

.
.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT:
FEEL FREE to DISCUSS anything at all on the following:
.
* SHOW US some pictures that you took with an EOSM that you like.
.
* SHOW US some pictures taken with a Sony Camera that inspire you to consider moving platforms. (Not for people to disagree with but to demonstrate and explain why you like the images). Surely it catches all the shots the EOS M misses because it has such amazing AF speed.
.
* SHOW US some pictures from the new CANON EOS R system lenses that make you think it's an EOS-M-Killer.
.
* Were you a former M-forum member? If you moved to Sony, were you happier?
