his position is very strange
His position is usually strange. :-) But at least he has one, contrary to many Canon backed bloggers :-)
Ken is saying that it is "pro" because it has the bigger sensor, plus a real lens set. But actually, the sensor is really not much bigger than the Panasonic sensor when in landscape mode. Also, he hasn't actually tried the camera, I love Ken, but to say something is professional when you have not tried the camera is basically unprofessional. Will the IQ be better than the new Olympus? Maybe, but I doubt it, and it won't have built in IS.
Did anyone figure out why it has two HDMI ports yet?
It does not have two ports.
Yeap it's a baby EOS. Same old soft images :)
I will be interested to test the HDMI out. It may be useful for my static cameras during multicam setups.
I don't think I would spend any money on the EOS-M glass.
Will have to see what adapters become available.
Sadly we haven't been able to get HDMI output from the Panasonic GF(2) range.
Rofl.. I had missed the ingenious post from Mr Ken Rockwell back when this came out – he doesn´t hide his bias, does he?
The part about Leica really made me smile.. :) And yes, we should all remember to NEVER use a Leica M-series lens on anything but full frame. Of course.
@kavadni I'm pretty sure Canon will sell a lot of eos-m. Its popularity will lead to all kinds of adapters.
Since I didn't like the look from 650d, prolly I wouldn't like eos-m either. I'm just hoping that Panasonic would support 24p/30p/60p and mic-in and live HDMI on all future lumix bodies like eos-m.
I tried it out and this camera has horrible ergonomics. Don't like it all.
That must be the most boring episode of DigitalRev yet :(
i'm impressed, very impressed actually
Canon EOS M left me with somewhat mixed feelings. It has excellent build quality, sexy looks and the superb touch LCD makes it really easy to use (if you like controlling devices with touch screens). Overall image quality is comparable to competitors although it produces underexposed images quite often and requires constant histogram monitoring (something that “green-auto” users probably will not understand). Canon EOS M can be recommended if you primarily shoot static objects in daylight.
Gay blue, special version for niche market.
The new firmware upgrade for the EOS M boosts the AF shutter speed, making One Shot AF up to 2.3x faster through a re-working of the AF Drive Control System. It will be available for downloading free of charge from the Canon website at the end of June, 2013.
Quite good news.
Focus speed comparison
Still slower than normal cameras.
Where are they at with the M shooting raw? Has anyone seen any sample footage yet?
The M shooting decent-quality raw is pretty unlikely. Even though it has one of the faster SD slots, it still maxes at 40MB/s and the buffers on the M are apparently really tiny. Fishing lesson: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6215.0
