Wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. They (meaning DxO) usually have huge discounts. I got it for 50% off last year, which ended up being something just over $100. It has been well worth the money.

Holy cow, that's a lot of money's worth of camera and lens to have just sitting on the shelf.

I know this isn't quite the topic, but I did some shooting with my 18-55 the other day (my kids at the pool, who are my most common subject). It's not terrible, and it's definitely better than my ...

I think you're confused. This thread is about EOS M, not Leica M or Fujifilm.

My thoughts exactly when I saw the specs. That has to be the most uninspiring range for a kit zoom ever. Maybe it will be better optically than the EOS M version.

Interesting, I didn't know that about crop mode.

Yes, it's definite. The RAW file aspect ratio is the same as the sensor. There are no relatively inexpensive cameras I know of with a square sensor. But if you're shooting RAW, you can apply the ...

A quick search of "Canon EOS aspect ratio" brings up pages from the user guides of many cameras that allow you to set the aspect ratio to 1:1. Seems a great majority of Canon EOS cameras, if not ...

For what it's worth, my M50 doesn't have the minimum shutter speed setting, and I use the manual + auto ISO approach you described when needing to control DOF with a minimum shutter speed in low ...

I don't think I would. If they are just duplicating what they've already done in the M system, what's the point of switching? Will the Sigma and other third party lenses ever become available? ...

Word is it has better face and eye tracking autofocus. It can detect faces/eyes from farther away than the original M50 and stick onto them better. I'm not sure if the autofocus is faster on the ...

A couple pictures from Niagara Falls. I only had the 30mm with me and no filters or tripod, so it was a fun challenge coming up with landscape compositions. This one has been done a billion times ...

My mom and her grand nephew (I guess?). I really like how the lighting turned out with this one.

I doubt you'd be more likely to get a good copy as a refurb. They're selling the weak copies new after all, and it's not like the refurb process does anything to improve them. I'd only pick it up ...

I definitely just take my M50 + 22 sometimes. Check the 22mm pictures thread. It's so small it's like carrying a compact camera, and the 35mm equivalent focal length is a good all-around option.

The next year will be telling regarding Canon's APS-C plans. Do they actually want to compete with the others or just stay afloat and lure people to full frame? I think if it's the latter, they're ...

The 22mm is a great lens. It's well worth the $149.99, as well as the regular price for that matter. I do think its qualities are sometimes overstated, as it's not a world beater in IQ by any ...

Nice deal. I think I paid $199 refurbished for mine. I wonder if the deals mean anything for the system as a whole. Trying to use up stock?

Yes, Fuji is very tempting but generally speaking more expensive. However, the third-party lenses, such as the Sigma offerings, kind of even things out. The other issue is autofocus - Canon seems ...

There is no option for a smallish fast standard zoom. The only fast zooms must be adapted and are rather large. The Sigma 17-50 might be marginally smaller than the Tamron. If you want fast with ...
