I know in theory it might not seem that different in weight or size between the two but in real life it makes a huge difference overall. For instance I would need to use a different camera bag that would fit the 5d3 let alone one that would fit the 5d3 with grip. That alone saves me a lot of bag space as well as bag weight. If I was using the EOS M with my EF lenses I would probably only use one EF lens such as my 35L, 85LII or 16-35LII. This would allow me to use a very small, light compact camera bag that I could easily fit anywhere. Quite important when doing a lot of walking around with two little kids or for golf buddy shots I agree that if I was going to bring multiple lenses then it wouldn\'t make much of a difference since I have to use my bigger bags anyway. chez wrote: davidimdpt wrote:
The reasons this camera interests me.
1. My wife can use it as a point and shoot
2. I can use it with my EF lenses when I don\'t want to lug around my 5d3 with BG for non paid events or recreational activities.
3. I can use my new canon flashes and transmitters.
Do you really think you would use this with your EF lenses just to save a little weight. If you are already taking your lenses, why not just also take your 5D3 ungripped? How much savings is there is size once you add the adapter onto the P&S?
Maybe I have a mental block, but I really don\'t see myself ever taking this along with a bag full of full frame lenses? I can see taking this with the 20mm lens in place of all my other gear, but to just replace the 5D3 with this camera and keep all those lenses, what are you really saving?
