This would mean I could use all of my current lenses on this camera and not have to invest in more glass. I quickly decided that I did not want to bother with any of the special EF-M lenses, and so I opted to purchase the Canon EF Adapter. When compared with the paltry $200-$300 I could spend to get the EOS M, It was not a hard decision.
I took a look again at the market and the cheapest Canon DSLRS that I would even think of buying were up in the $600-700 range. Most of my product shots are manually focused anyways, and video is all manual focus. I looked into the EOS M some more, and I found out that the AF speed was crap, but that was not a huge issue for me. That was when I noticed the price of the EOS M, and it was hard to ignore.
I just needed it for product shots and as a second angle for my videos. Also being as my primary camera was and is my Canon 6D, I did not want to spend a ton of money on a camera that I would not be using a lot.
Upon looking at the market, I was sure that I wanted an APS-C camera, and I wanted something small. I was in need of a second camera, not only for still images, but also for video. But as part of my job here at SLR Lounge, I review lenses and other camera accessories, and it’s hard to take a picture of a lens or accessory on my camera when I have to take the picture with that same camera. A great full frame camera that I love and use for everything. Up until purchasing an EOS M of my own, my only camera – besides my phone camera – was my main body, a Canon 6D. People began to take notice of this powerful little APS-C mirrorless camera again. Prices were as low as $200 for the body only at some places, with the kit starting around $350ish. Canon, and the retailers decided to cut their losses, and hoped to recoup what they could from the failed mirrorless camera. So, the majority of the photographic community again wrote off the camera, and filed it again under the ‘do not buy’ category.Ĭhristmas 2013 rolls around, and with it a significant decrease in the price of the EOS M. Sadly though, it was too little too late, the damage had already been done and there were already better mirrorless offerings on the market. After the update to firmware 2.0.2, the autofocus speed improved dramatically, to the point of being usable in most situations – with exception to probably fast moving sports. Most reviewers, and users, of the camera wrote it off and filed it into the do not buy category – especially at its original list price.įast forward several months and Canon finally released a firmware update addressing several of the flaws in the camera, namely the terrible autofocus performance. It had lots of advantages and bright points, but its flaws were tragically fatal. The reviews came in and the reviews were unanimous, the EOS M was a dud.
