After the camera now has a few brief inserts and a long day of sightseeing in Washington DC behind them, I have some additional experiences that I can complete'd like.
Overall, I would deduct a star. There are the following reasons.
1. The battery life is really very short. The 250 specified photos came very well towards me. That alone is not nice, but was so clear beforehand. However, what is very disturbing is the inaccurate display of remaining battery. During my 60D shows here very closely wievielw percent is still loaded, stood at the M3 until hours long 3 from 3 bar there and within minutes it changed then only on 2 of 3 to blink then direct red.
This transition is very fast, leaving me in the dark about the actual residual energy.
Good thing I had previously a spare battery worried while.
2. Many small things:
If one has taken advantage of its 60D MagicLantern last two year, then one forgets how many sensible features in the firmware ormalen The Canon cameras are missing.
- Why can I only take 3 photos in bracketing mode? Why not 5 or 7? Why can not I set arbitrarily the distance?
- Why can not I Time-Lapse recording (Intervalaufnahmen)?
- Why a maximum of 30s exposure time? This is again not clear to me.
- Sometimes the display when switching between modes or ISO values or photos, etc. reacts extremely sluggish. Where does this delay? The gabs not at meienr 60D. It does not bother much, but if you're used to the latency-free entry of smart phones or similar then it sucks a bit.
For these reasons, I prefer from one of my original 5 star.
Overall, however, a very useful mirrorless APSC camera.
Original Review:
The Canon EOS M3 is exactly what I had hoped for. No more and no less.
After several years in which me my 60D has accompanied on any large, multi-day hiking tour,
I finally wanted to have a small, lightweight camera with a large sensor and interchangeable lenses to nich always carry around so much extra weight. In addition, you can admire the 60D just do not have 10 hours out there and ready to fire. That was to seek for me the main reason for alternatives.
The EOS M3 is light and small, making especially with the 22mm pancake great photos. The autofocus is significantly slower than any current SLR, but that was clearly and plays for me not matter. With landscape photos kommts nich on fractions of a second, in addition leaves a focus peak function very quickly Focusing manually (sad that you can not survive in the 60D etc. here without Magic Lantern, if you want to have such a very obvious functions).
The main reason to take up a Sony A6000 or Samsung etc. was not simply the amount of Canon lenses that I have and all function properly with the Canon adapter.
I will test the M3 in the coming weeks extensively in the field and then bring again an update.
So far, however, I am very satisfied.
