Great addition to EOS owners
First of all, I am a long time Canon user, and I have been lugging a 1DmkIII with a 30D as a backup. I primarily carry the 24-105 f/4L and 100-400L (mk1). While this is a great setup, I find myself needing something light that does not sacrifice the image quality much.
So I spent a fair amount of time researching and reading about the mirrorless and micro 4/3. I narrowed down my selections to Canon M2, M3, Sony A6000 and certain Olympus and Panasonic micro 4/3s, but after weighing all the pros and cons of each camera, it came down to price, and this particular package (body, 22mm lens, 18-55mm lens, 90ex flash, and the EF-EFM adapter to use my existing EF lenses) for about $400 is simply within my sweet spot and too good to pass up (to top that off, there was a 10% paypal discount offer I was able to use). I can use the kit lenses or leverage my existing EF lenses. I can use the kit flash or leverage my other EX flash. I would love to have the M3 movable LCD and slightly better grip, but the price point is significantly higher.
The package was shipped from JP and arrived quick without hassle. I was surprised at how small and light the body is, and was skeptical about the tiny 90ex's usability. However, after taking somewhere around 100 pictures using the 18-55 kit lens, I have to admit I am very impressed by this camera. Focusing speed is quick for the type of pictures I take, and the quality of the pictures are very good with details that are clearly visible when zoomed in.
This camera has just replaced my EOS setup as my trusty carry-around camera for daily use. I will still reach for my 1DmkIII when I need the 10fps shooting, when focusing speed is absolutely a must, or when I need that 400mm reach using, but otherwise, I'll happily carry around this camera. This is a superb bargain that one shouldn't miss.Read full review...
