First impressions can be overcome, but often they are a good indicator of long-term experience. So for those with an interest, here\'s my first take on the EOS-M based on experience with many of Canon\'s EOS cameras. May not be news to some. :-)
1. Very nice build, fit, and finish
2. Minimalism is nice, but they have room for and could really use a few more buttons,
or at least could have made multiple use of the existing ones
- For example they have a button dedicated to initiating video recording, but it has
no effect unless the top switch is already set to \"video\"
3. Image quality is on-par with the T4i
4. Both microphones fit conveniently under your left index finger, ruining most videos
- Did Canon learn nothing from Panasonic?
5. AF is indeed painfully slow (T4i LiveView, anyone?)
6. Lens caps are Zeiss-style (wth, Canon?)
7. It\'s VERY small, which is awesome unless you constantly need one hand
to manipulate a touch-screen
8. Don\'t bother trying to record video without a very fast SD card (buffer overruns quickly)
9. The EF mount adapter seems overly large
Cheers,
ALF
