New M5/M18-150 kit arrived today....... even after looking hard at the M50 and the Sony A7iii, I bought ANOTHER M5 AND 18-150. after it dried, my sunken M5 does not power on. The sd card, battery ...

Agreed.... Here's a shot w the 18-150 (cropped a bit) I took two weeks ago on a Florida trip... about 15 minutes before rolling my kayak, and bricking my M5... even after looking hard at the ...

the ef 50mm 1.8 stm is a later design, and even w my serious L lens collection, at f5.6, is the sharpest lens I own... amazing. Check it out on the Digital Picture comparisons tool. It's also ...
-
Admittedly I haven't researched any other company except Sony... where there high end fast zooms are the same size and weight as the Canon counterparts for FF... so Sony doesn't do small and fast ...
-
Thanks Wayne!... I think my Cam is bone dry at this point, but silty... I'll try to power it up tomorrow I think. Looks like the Battery may still be usable..!!! I had a waterproof bag in the ...
-
I'll add that the M5 replaced my 5Diii as my travel cam, because of portability, and no discernable loss in image quality. Agreed that the lens is critical to sharpness, as is the sweet spot of ...

and this is the first time I've heard someone mention this as a possibility. I love the notion.... tho obviously the current M lineup is pretty slow, with the perplexing exception of the M22.
-
depending on the answer to my question, yes, or use only stm/silent lenses and NOT the kit lens... but I want to know before I buy.
-
And I suppose that's a viable strategy.... I could have taken my M1.... but I'd have needed the 18-150 or at least the 55-200.... so still a substantial financial risk. Why doesn't someone ...
-
right!... I saw that too, so it's cheaper to buy another M5. by the way... I bought a new M5 kit w 18-150 on eBay for $800... fingers crossed that it's legit. I was thinking that my loss was ...

because the lenses are the same size as Sony E mount. ...resulting in M lenses on the M system(s) acting like regular Eos lenses on FF and APS-c crop cams. I'd LOVE that. Here the video at 13:40 in. ...
-
Boston Verzon Stores never heard of it.... 8 days later, I pulled the camera and lens from the rice. Pretty visible silt, so thinking the interior will be likewise. I'll likely try powering ...
-
It's certainly why I spent 15 minutes in 4' of water searching for the camera sitting somewhere on the bottom.... In alligator infested waters...
-
if you use the internal camera microphone only?
-
Haven't yet tried to power up my M5... but the good news is that the SD card, after a week in rice, is fully functional w all 480 pics intact.
-
The ef 35mm f/2 IS is my favorite lens on my M5... it sings, and is about 50mm ff equiv. It gives great depth of field, so you may want to shoot Av priority. In low light, the automatic ...
-
Thanks. It's a significant financial hit. Ouch... but I'd still bring a camera on my next kayak trip. I new the risk.
-
I have no such insurance unfortunately... though the lens was a recent purchase, so credit card purchase protection would have covered it if it had been under 4 months old. It was 5. ;-) ...
-
Understood... I have a reasonable hope for retrieving the images from the sd card... but the camera is almost certainly dead. No experience w a lens recovery, but this one has electronics too. ...

PCBA? It's all been in rice since last thursday. The camera was powered on, but it was at the end of battery power, with flashing icon, and I was switching off and on between shots.... ...
