Why should M3 be avoided when uograding from M?
1

Hi!

I'm tempted to upgrade M to M3. I am currently using M only for landscapes. I have other gear, too so I can't justify buying for example new M6. (for shallow dof I use 5DII, for events and other mainly Oly E-M5 and Pen-F, when I'm not carrying camera I use Coolpix A and so on) I really like using these gear/tools. They differ and have their own strenghts and weaknesses. I don't expect M3 (or any other camera) to be my only camera, but to be more versatile, to be used perhaps more than for landscapes...

I have a chance to buy used M3 cheap. My guestion is little more complicated than "why avoid M3". I'd like also hear your opinions and experiences; what benefits does M3 bring, other than obvious 6MP more,  better grip and better handling due more knobs and dials? What have you liked (or hated) in M3?

Thank you, a s l a
