Encrypted posted:The R is not too bad if you can get it for that price. Cameras are probably the highest profile product Canon makes but I wanted to check and see for myself, and if you dig into their annual report you see that the "Imaging products" only make up 25% of sales volume. By comparison, office products are 45% of the sales volume. And remember there are other reports from Japan last year saying Canon was already the biggest mirrorless brand in terms of sales there. EOS M sells a ton to the one-time Nikon D40 and Digital Rebel markets. My guess? Camera sales shrinking won't help, but it's easier to use a market that is high profile and acknowledged as shrinking as the scapegoat. Nobody will know until the actual reports come out.

Encrypted posted:lol so it's absolutely impossible that what I said (about Canon's annual full corporate profitability) and you posted (about Sony doing well for a one-month period market share-wise) can't both be right? Canon's not exactly sprinting out of the gate with its full-frame stuff, but their camera profitability is more likely tied to people buying more or fewer M bodies and kits or Digital Rebels. Which is why they need non-L glass for the RF if they want it to have a future.

Problem is the EOS-M lens lineup is doodoo compared with Fuji, m43, or Sony, unless you’re adapting EOS lenses, in which case what’s the point? I liked the M3 when I had it last year, there’s just no room to grow the system.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I get to use my L-Glass without any issue, unlike if I had to adapt it to other systems? (Like on my Sony cameras?) I don’t/didn’t have L glass, and part of the reason I got a MILC was to carry it easily everywhere. It got too bulky even with the Tamron 18-55. Compared to the Fuji XT30 and 18-55 I have now, it was a bigger combo. The M isn’t a bad camera but it has limitations, which I bumped into. Others may not.

SMERSH Mouth posted:So I'm considering something completely blasphemous for the SA camera forum: switching back to a Canon APS-C DSLR from Fuji mirrorless. I took some pictures at a friend's wedding recently and found my X-T2 pretty weak for available-light shots of people dancing at night. The great high-ISO performance of Fuji sensors doesn't mean much when the shots are out of focus. I'm also not very happy with the 18-55 kit zoom; I've returned two already for what I consider to be pretty bad optical quality issues for a lens of its price. Hi, I had the EOS M3 for a year and now I’ve got an X-T20. The only really superb EF-M lens I used was the 22 f/2 pancake; I didn’t try the more recently released 32 f/1.4 but it’s apparently reviewed okay. The EF-M 11-22 and 18-55 both felt pretty optically dead average (and the “good” 18-55 isn’t available new anymore only the 15-45), which is Fine, but at fairly narrow max aperture and optically below (in my experience) the Fuji 18-55. The best time I had with the M3 was using the EF-M adapter and the Tamron 17-50 non stabilized lens. That was a great setup, but it became DSLR big easy. Have you thought about getting the new Fuji 16-80? Still has IS, constant f/4 and more reach than the 18-55. It’s getting pretty good reviews on release.

Everything new screams “for sports photographers who are uploading straight out of camera to FTP servers.” The DPReview overview spotlights that you can have one WiFi signal for shooting controls and another one for sending the files to upload at the same time

President Beep posted:Wonder if either manufacturer will ever do EF-M versions. Lol That said if you’re not worried about the size, the EF-M adapter works really well. I got some very good shots with the Tamron 17-50 non-IS on the M3.

jarlywarly posted:Man this might be my new body... I'm scared for the pricing now. I wonder what this does for the market in used canon glass if now there's ibis. Probably not much, because of the adapters that are available. [Edit] also depends on how the IBIS is designed to work in concert with Canon’s IS on lenses. But that’ll only be known once those things are truly out and in the wild.
