Hi Everyone
Just joined, first post….
Been a canon user since 1992
Went dormant for 10-15yrs
Then a work colleague heavily into URBEX kick started my interest….
A few months ago I decided to buy a few canon M cameras
(Used) M50 & M100
Picked up several of the M lenses (again used)
My normal cameras are a mixture or 5diii, 6d/6dii
80d, 7dii etc etc
Whilst I welcome the much smaller package and superb optics ( M32mm 1.4)
I cannot believe they omitted a standard cable release WTF!!
Yes yes, the BR-E1 but geez, another gadget that takes super common button batteries that are easy to source on a whim - not!!
I’m so disappointed that canon are forcing their long term loyal customers to depend on Bluetooth simply as a way to trip the shutter remotely.
Ridiculous, to the extent I probably won’t be going the R route. My unfashionable flappers maybe old hat in todays world but as a tool for taking stills it seems the modern mirrorless has much to learn.
If I may, I love the flash on the M100 that allows it to be tilted back for bounce….why oh why can’t canon use this on R series??
it would again avoid the need to ensure the separate flash in the bag, the batteries were ok, extra batteries just in case…..
My god, what a palava when all I wanted was a catchlight, fill flash etc etc.
I’m starting to see now why so many walked away.
The DSLR’s were and are superb
But the crippled mirrorless series are beyond a joke.
