Can't they just make it a M9 equivalent for a quarter of the price of the Leica? I still want a "full frame" range finder with manual focus, optical viewfinder and two or three small, fast standard lenses (28, 55, 90). Shouldn't be too hard and would sell like hotcakes I assume.Canon was making Japanese version (even with better feature) of M4 until 1969 (?). The price difference at that time is only less than 25% or less. Now you want Canon to make a version of M9 for 1/4 of M9. That will be a very nice dream.
And they could indeed recycle their FD mount with that.
Wrong Term, should be "make it more like a view finder camera". A "view finder" cannot do the job of a "range finder".Come on guys where's the viewfinder! Wonder how the autofocus is...
It looks like a view finder can be mounted in the flash hot-shoe, making it more like a range-finder camera.
If it was 35mm or 50mm equivalent I would have considered it. 28mm is a bit wide for a general purpose lens.28mm equilvalent is not a bad choice. It has a 16Mp sensor. That will allow you some cropping. As a "tourist" camera, 28mm will allow you to be more useful for "city scape", inside of building, wide scenery etc. I just hope that it have better color rendition than its DSLR, especially for facial color.
You have just contradict yourself BIG TIME. You adopted the 5D C (first generation), but not the 5D 2 (second generation).How many times have I typed that yes, the 5Dc is a first gen camera and has many many flaws but I never bought it at release for the full asked price when it was the only option.
The thread states that the EOS M AF cannot be fixed with firmware. No surprise, because its a first gen product it will have all these flaws that cannot be fixed by firmware. Just like said 5Dc. But I never adopted products until Gen 2 was released. Simpy because gen2 will be better and gen1 will be a lot cheaper. Like iPhone 1 and iPhone 3G.
I can guarantee when RX-2 is released, I'll be able to buy a used RX-1 for half of what you paid or just get the fixed RX-2.
So your complain is the PRICE of the first generations, not the PERFORMANCE. If it is the performance, you will never buy the first generation regardless of the price.
Lets put it this way, I didn't adopt the 5D2 either. It still wasn't the camera I needed, the MK3 was the camera where I adopted it ASAP to replace my temp 5Dc system.
It's a price/performance ratio that matters and that ratio is always higher with a gen2 system. Thus I never adopt first gen systems but wait for Gen2's release.
Hi again,
I have a friend that is a personal trainer and is in need of a new camera. He wants to be able to take action shots of himself in his gym, as well as have capability of taking video if possible for marketing purposes. He has a budget of $400. The priority is taking action shots, not so much the video. Again, I don't know much about P&S cameras, so I was hoping to get suggestions. I'm assuming he'll need a good aperture and ISO performance, and a decent MP count (12ish).
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

The main advantage of M 4/3 is the smaller size. Long lenses defeats this idea. You can always mount a long lens with an adapter.Better yet...just buy an Olympus OMD ...it actually focuses, has a viewfinder and lots of small fast primes AND zooms?
TODAY!
Yes, but OM-D lacks a certain criteria essential to many of this forum...it is not a Canon...
But I do agree. Although I would rather have the Panasonic GF form factor (as small as possible).
That is also why I would like more pancake lenses.
Unfortunatly, no long glass is available yet for micro 4/3
It's a starting point for Sony. I didn't see 35mm fixed as boring lens, I took over 2K photos last couple weeks with my RX1. My 5D III and all EF lenses been sitting in the bag lately - NOW, that is boring
