The EOS M5 Is Here

The exec summary of the DPR:

https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/can...sions-review/4


I'm more interested in files than handling but think that this is the
first interesting upgrade of the EOS-M line since the original M and
will at least provide a reasonable replacement option for devices that
have reached their end of life.

Would the skeptics of a couple of days ago finally admit they got no
clue what's going on?
SLRs are finished. Gone. Kaput. Keel over. Dead as a dodo.

Except for a couple of REAL professionals who MUST have very fast
continuous AF following whatever it is that they photograph.
The definition of niche market.

The rest of the world of photography will be using mirrorless in less
than 5 years.
Mark my words, I'll definitely be back then to claim it!

"The rest of their world" is already using their cell phones. Purpose
made cameras are a niche product already.

The phones are the Instamatics of today. Those that want more will still
get a premium compact, MILC or DSLR.

Those who use phones for taking photos do so because they can not
because they should or that even would buy a camera if camera phones
were not available.

Is it just me, or would the above paragraph be more readable with the
use of a comma or two?

Those who use "purpose made cameras" do so because they are more
serious about taking photos and in that respect this has always been
the case. The more serious the better you equiped yourself.
This is no more niche that equiping yourself with a high end computer
or console to play hardcore games rather than use your phone to play
candy crush or using a hq home cinema system to watch movies rather
than watch movies on your phone.

Just because you can use a phone for various tasks other than comms
does not mean you will gain the best experience.

I pasted the quoted text into MS Word and it only reported two minor
grammatical errors...

So? What did the infallible MS Word suggest?

I know that I could have improved things with at least one comma.

I have many educated friends who are happy with blurred, crooked, dark
photos that are really terrible. It is the McDonald's of photography,
and so many people are absolutely amazed when I give them a sharp 8x10"
paper print.

I think that there will always be a small number of people like us who
enjoy photography at a moderate or high level of skill. Similarly, you
have Chevrolets and Ferraris.

Good photo shooting,

Mort Linder

Wow! Canon put an EVF into a mirror-less. Only EIGHT YEARS after Panasonic
did.

Well, mFT sucks so it's irrelevant...

But I bet it is much better, and that's why it took 8 years. Come to
think of it: my Sony 707 had a passably acceptable EVF some years
before that.

Might for you, but it's capable of very good results, and has a much
wider range of lenses available than the Canon.
