Do you own an EOS M?
Do you want the EF-M 22/2?
If the answer is no to both you can get a much better NEX-5N for similar money along with an FD adapter.
Hi Mawz,
Thanks for your suggestion! I don't have a mirrorless body yet, just SLRs and DSLRs; started this hobby back in 1970 and I've lots of old Canon and Olympus bodies/glass; more Canon.
I took a quick look at the NEX-5N and it seems like a sweet little camera, I wasn't aware it had a 'Touch' LCD. The 'touch' screen is a big plus for me as I'm paralyzed and have little to no use of my digits, I'm hoping the 'touch' screens allow for use of a capacitive pen like I use with my phone and tablet.
It seems camera makers don't design much for the disabled, all I need is a jack for a wired remote switch; can't use my fingers to press a shutter button; not easily while focusing... I know the EOS-M would let me tap the screen to fire the shutter, will the NEX-5N allow the same?
The M also gives me access to my newer EF glass as well, the Canon adapter preserves AF; slow but usable. I had thought it's triple duty nature...older and newer Canon glass, and Alt glass like my Olympus gear...is a huge plus, makes the M quite versatile, despite it's boxy look.
I do like the idea of using an EXMOR sensor but if the M gives me more utility lens wise I'd tend to lean to the M or M2; I've a 7D that uses the same older sensor and am happy with it, what I can manage with RAW and PP.
I'll take a serious look at the 5N, if there are any big bonuses you think the 5N might get me, please reply or send me a PM. I'd enjoy a chat with a FMer that uses the 5N, I've no brand loyalty...well a little perhaps, I'm more interested in IQ when it comes to these smaller crop sensor beasties
Cheers,
Jerry
