Our annual trip to the Book Barn in Niantic, CT. Very cool place.
EOS-M and EF-M 18-55.

A few more with the M. Great little camera. Everyone knows it's flaws, what I ran into with these shots is that I really was barely able to use the LCD in the daylight, but I am really impressed with the 18-55 lens.

Ok...so more zoom would be nice :)....Here I was really wishing I had the 100-400 L....
I have done some soul searching and believe that I should shut my mouth and enjoy my camera. Here are some I have posted in the assignment thread. I rarely take my 7D out of the bag anymore. I find it more fun to attach my other lenses to the M and shoot.

Just wondering what other people have settled in on. I've tested four bags--all by Lowepro: the Dashpoint 30, Edit 100, Edit 110, and Apex 100 AW. I ended up with both the 22 f/2 (ebay), 18-55 lenses (kit), and 90 EX (kit). I can fit my entire EOS-M "kit" in the Edit 110. Which is pretty compact. I wish the Edit 110 was a little more robust, but I looked at the Apex 110 AW as well as a few top loaders and the Edit 110 seems to be the best currently available.Quote:

But both are pretty snug for my taste and leave little room for anything more than an extra memory card.
I am not yet 100% happy as I think a bag designed for the EOS-M could make it remarkably portable. But this is getting pretty close.
:) It is a very nice little camera. It does have some flaws, namely the brightness of the screen in daylight. What I find remarkable are the lenses. They are both very sharp. Also, it does have a certain "fun factor" to it.....Quote:

I was stuck with the only thing my Best Buy had in stock before our trip and it works pretty well. I ended up with the Manfrotto Solo 1 Holster Camera Bag. It fits the M with the zoom and my adapter. My guess is the adapter is the same size as the 22mm f/2, so when I score some cash it will go in the adapters place.

Very nice Mark, did you bring a tripod into the park or did you free hand this?

Just freehand. My patented pivot in place pano method. :-)
