Re: Replacing old 550D/T2i + EOS M for M6/M5

I finally end up making the deal with the M6 bundle. It came with the M15-45 a speedlite 270EXii a card and the bag. The small speedlite could be a better option than my Metz af 58 for compact travel.

So here are my first impressions in my quest to replace my combo 550D/T2i + Original M.

So regarding comparation with my Original M it's a no brainer here. I wanted small size, better focus, and also gained a built in flash.

Also was curious if it fits my small bag LP dashpoint 20, and it fits with the M22

My really doubt is if it will replace my DSLR in the handling and AF performance. So I placed my Sigma 17-70 C to see how it looks.

And for my surprise it handles in the hand very nicely. The height is about the same that paired with the 550D.

The AF isn't still the same at low light, so this is something to consider. Possible if I will keep the 15-45 and buy a sigma 56 and sell the 17-70 or keep it until the release of a fast one.

I also got the M15-45 and in my preliminary test it didn't felt to bad, with enough sharpness for my needs, bit this really needs more use to find out if it will serve me.

The other things that I wanted was the WiFi connectivity to share photos and tested and it works nice.

Something that also pleased me was the manual controls, much better than my 550D.

Now I have to run more trials and use and check it.

Thank u all
