Blowing out Canon's "M"

Looks like something new is coming, or they've killed it. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...mera_with.html Hi, I just read that an official Canon software update for the Canon M will be out in 2 months, and that it will increase focus speed by 2.3 times. If correct, that might change one's mind about buying the M now and then getting the (free?) update in September. Of course, the expected dual pixel model might be even faster, but the price difference will be substantial. Mort Linder |

Yes, but with a camera as expensive as the M already is, the Grand Omission is an eye-level viewfinder, not faster AF (as important as the latter is). I continue to believe that that omission was because of a shortage of power. But I also continue to believe that better battery technology will eventually solve that problem if Canon and its user community can exercise enough patience. All(?) of us believe that new viewfinder technology will render the DSLR obsolete, and those of us of a certain age (or older) hope we live to see it happen. But you have to start somewhere. And so far, the M (and NOT the mirrorless Nikons) shows a glimmer of promise of being that starting point. Bob |

All(?) of us believe that new viewfinder technology will render the DSLR obsolete, And putting our industries on the moon will only damage the lunar ecosystem. Hopefully that'll happen soonish. I won't hold my breath, though. -Wolfgang |
