Beautiful! To me (but who I am?), these shots and many shots from smartphones go a long way to show that, in most settings, you don't need pro gear to make excellent shots.

Beautiful photos! I never had this kind of focal length in hand. Maximum ever was 200mm and so with a minimum speed of 1/400 that was not too unpractical. But for focal lengths of say 400 to 600mm...

Great photos !

I love my Canon M3 + 22mm F/2 but there are not many situations where my Galaxy S7 is not good enough. And so the M3 + 22mm largely stays at home. But I can make a case for my G7x due to its zoom...

It's good you liked my humor. That said, the X100F retails for $1300. My fixed lens setup is broadly equivalent (resolution, focal length) and can be found for less than $700

No mention of my fixed lens setup: EOS M3 + 22mm

Oh well ...

Excellent review as always

Impressive specs for such a small camera. I love it because I will never buy a huge lens for my 7D or my M3 and 1 inch sensor cameras with such reach can be heavy. They'll sell them like hotcakes....

I'll be going soon so I might not have a lot of sun. I have no other gear that I'd like to travel with aside from my phone. Which of the EOS M3 with the 22mm or the G7x gets your vote? Thanks

Thank you

Would you recommend the move if what I'm after is better low light performance and a better lens? Is the loss of a resolution an issue? Thanks.

Very well said. A phone camera would have told the same story.

So did you exceed the camera's intended use? I own a G7x and you worry me because I use it sometimes in dusty situations

If one's reason for buying an EOS-M series camera is at least partly its small size, then getting the 22mm makes sense. In my case, it is the fact that it is a "small APS-C from Canon" that sealed ...

I've decided that my M3 would be my vest pocket camera. And so it is married to a 22mm. For more reach I have my G7x. which also fits in my vest pocket. And for more flexibility I have my drawer ...

The Santa Claus camera. Does it exist?

No crazy high ISO here. My G7x and my EOS M3 would have been enough gear wise. Now the rest ...

Not buying the M5 because I like my M3 (yawn)

I own both and so far I've not encountered a scenario in which the M3 had a clear advantage. I also wonder whether between ISO 2000 and ISO 5000 the M is not the better performer (admittedly ...
