Re: SL1 vs M43

I've had terrible luck with the generation of M43s I've sampled. Two spontaneously fried and I need to send them both back.

The SL1 is wonderfully quiet for a DSLR with its "silent mode" and that's the main reason I've chased mirrorless cameras, the quieter shutters, along with their manual focus aids.

I'm not willing to spend on a newer generation of mirrorless when I can get adequate service from this little DSLR. I've discovered that finicky manual focus is not that important to me.

For my purposes, a quiet, light DSLR body that uses my existing EF lenses is the sweet spot. I feel well equipped with this SL1 and my 7D for long lenses. Maybe an SL2 in the future for the 24MP, but otherwise my gear lust is pretty well satiated.

Thanks.

That  may well be enough to steer me away from M4/3. I do really like Canon, but the weight is difficult.
