Reviews: Canon EOS M3

Lots of bandwidth wasted here on whats better and such. Truth is we know the Eos-M is an inferior product spec wise to the sony a6000's AF speed and shooting speed, while the Sony A7 is a full frame camera so forget about apples to apple. Both Sony's are very good products and compelling to see thats where Sony puts much effort. But they use a proprietary flash mount (as does canon but canon is much wider supported, ask profoto ;D) and have limited accessories.

I prefer/am used to the EOS menu system.. to the point where even Rebels annoy me.. :D So I'm glad there's a mini EOS out there that I can just plug in my 5D's flash accessories to and roll like a pro.

As far as the mini flash, hey it bends upward to bounce... don't discount that in a pinch. Point it upward while holding a folding reflector over your head at a 45 deg angle and you have yourself a 20" round light source illuminating your subject. Also, add one fo these to your built in flash and now you have a filtered flash system for indoor fill flash:

I go it because of the evf, focus peaking, EOS platform, articulate touch screen, all for less than the price of a Rebel!!!! And this is a bad deal? Are you kidding me!?!?!?!
