EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CANON EOS M3

It seems that Canon has finally put the batteries with this booming segment that we already mentioned in his day in the blog, the group of cameras known as EVIL ( Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lenses) or Mirrorless that have been treading very hard behind (and sometimes even ahead) of the SLR. After some late attempts to enter the Mirrorless market without much success, it seems that Canon has decided to catch up with the brand with this new model of its series of EOS M cameras.

FOUR NOTES ON MIRRORLESS OR EVIL

If you do not know them, you may be wondering what these types of cameras are or what is special about them. Well, I recommend the article we wrote about them on the blog ( see here ) so you have the complete information. However, here are some basic notes about them.

Their main advantage is that they have no mirror ( Mirrorless ). This results in many positive points:
- Light
- Silent
- Resistant
- Eliminate trepidations (movement) associated with the movement of the mirror.
- Compact (by not wearing a mirror, they can reduce size and weight without losing quality)
Body with interchangeable objectives.
Sensor: Some match the SLR cameras as far as sensor is concerned, although this is paid, and not very cheap
Price: They began to be very expensive and although they are increasingly adjusted to compete with the SLRs, they may still seem somewhat price past. Of course, many are worth J

FEATURED ADVANTAGES

The new model of the EOS M series has made an important qualitative leap compared to its predecessors.

The camera design is compact, robust and pleasant to handle
Image quality thanks to its sensor and its 24 megapixels offers us very good image resolution, providing us with crisp and vivid color images
It also improves one of the weakest points of its predecessors; approach . This one is faster and more effective.
The flip screen is comfortable and of good quality, with 100% coverage and good image resolution

DRAWBACKS

It has no integrated viewfinder , and for some users this can be a great inconvenience (at least for me it is ). Of course, you can buy it separately and add it, because the option at least exists.
Little autonomy battery . Although it has improved compared to the previous models, some more autonomy is missing, especially if we want to work on video.
Few series objectives to choose from. (Although you can buy the EF-EOS M adapter to make it compatible with its series of SLR lenses. Yes, for 130 Euros more)
Although the value for money is good, it still has a lot of competition in this sector, much of it for better value for money.

PRICE

You can find it on Amazon for about 600 Euros today.

CONCLUSION

For those who are not satisfied with aiming and shooting, who want a good value for money, a nice, functional and robust design, this camera can be a very good option. It has nothing to do with their previous models, perhaps more oriented to a more amateur-loving profile of the automatic mode . If you are in a second or third level where you demand absolute control, quality, comfort and design, this can be a camera to take into account. If you are also a Canonistand you have reflex lenses to be able to combine them with the mirrorless body, much better. It is true that there is a lot of competition between brands, and that there are better models at the same price, but it is also true that there is a maximum limit in which the improvements go unnoticed to the common of mortals. Be that as it may, I dare to ensure that this camera will not disappoint. I hope you found this article useful. If so, please share it on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter. Thank you and see you soon
