EOS - M review - Thanks Bryan

[Dave Throgmartin]

I could be wrong, but I don't think many of the people who jumped on the M bandwagon will go for the M2 at a much higher price tag.

I didn't get the original M because of the autofocus speed and no difference in imaging, etc. I am very interested in the M2 if has the dual pixel sensor.

I imagine it will depend upon what is released and at what price. But I've seen a lot of posts where a view finder (EVF), the dual pixel AF (DPAF) technology and maybe a headphone jack would definitely interest some people. I've seen a few references of people converting their current EOS-M to IR if the EOS-M2 is what they want.

But mostly, I am impressed that with the sale most of the sentiment I've seen about the EOS-M went from negative to positive or at least interest. That has to help sales of the EOS-M2.

Speaking for myself, I went from not interested in it at all, as I was looking at different offerings by Sony and Olympus vs the S100/S110, to owning the EOS-M and am willing to at least consider an upgrade, depending on details and price. So I went from potentially owning another manufacturers system to a reasonable likelihood of eventually upgrading. The view finder, faster AF, the DPAF and ergonomic features at a reasonable price would at least get me thinking about it. I have been using the EOS-M for video as people seem more comfortable with it pointing at them for awhile compared to a dSLR. I do like continuous AF in video mode but it is slow. So the DPAF would get me thinking.

I'm one of the latter - if I like the M2 offering, I'll convert my current M to an IR camera, it's just about ideal for that use.

Personally, I would like dual pixel AF, but I don't really want an EVF - I'm assuming that will increase the size of the body, and I'd rather have it as small as possible.
