In addition to the two lenses, any of Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses can be used with the EOS M with the optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS M.
I've been deriding the look of the Sony NEX camera but when I tried holding it (the 5N and 7), they feel good not awkward.Perhaps we are misunderstanding the intended market position?
Looking at the pictures today (especially with the 18-55mm lenses), I realized that the Canon mirrorless look only slightly better than the NEX but will possibly not as well due to the almost non-existent grip.
Oh, and it seems too expensive for the features
I've been seeing conflicting opinions on whether or not to use a polarizer on a wide angle lens. I've seen alot of reviews where people mention that because of the wide DOF, you'll uneven light levels across the scene when using a circular polarizer. But then on the other hand I see other blogs where people say the complete opposite, that for taking photos of landscapes it is a must.I like to use a Circular polarizer for landscapes too - it certainly helps with sky and clouds, as well as situations where reflections on water or windows is to be minimized.
Can anyone shed some light on what the issues are and when it's ok to use a polarizer on a UWA lens. Specifically thinking about the 16-35L
It is quiet but not silent. It is more accurate than the 50 f/1.4 and doesn't do the minor adjustments - it just rolls up to the focus point and stopn - perfect for AF in video where AF jiggling is very irritatingI'm pretty sure the claim for "silent focus, good for video use" is qualified ONLY for the EOS 650 / T4i - since half of the 'quiet' autofocus technology is embedded in that camera body - and it's the combination of that camera body's CD/PD autofocus capability, the firmware and the STM lens that makes it silent.
)In Australia the Consumer laws are clear - the concept of 'merchantability' applies to provide a statutory implied warranty - so unless you really exceeded the load specification, it is the manufacturer's responsibility that any product should be made well enough that a consumer could expect a reasonable service life (not measured in days or weeks).
Are you saying you wouldn't expect a lower-line tripod from a major brand to last more than a couple of weeks?
Yes, if the major brands clearly states that it supports up to 1Kg/2.2lbs and you load a lot more weight on it.
This also means better repeatability; and less human error in the manufacturing process; important as DSLRs continue to become more and more high performance, requiring ever tighter tolerances.Not to mention the fact that Japan's population is aging fast (in Japan they now sell more adult diapers than infant ones) - so the pool of talent that can make things by hand is diminishing fast.
