My Personal Opinion
4

I bought this camera a couple of weeks ago after a lot of research. So far I like it. I was using a Sony a6000 and I was just not getting the type of pictures i wanted. I bought one of the first EOS-M and it was a great camera but it had no Viewer. It is one of the main things I want i any camera.

I have tried a lot of shots of different scenes both day and night an I do not find any problems that some have complained about. I do not use my camera for video so for me that is not an issue.

I am a little disappointed in the Lens choices, I like a couple of zooms and a prime lens 50mm f1.4 big glass.

So far its a good choice for what I shoot and I like it. As with all cameras you have to learn its use and controls. By the way one of the things I like are the controls with two controls on the top of the camera for easy manual control of the settings.

As I get further along I will post additional follow up.
