Play around at courts. It really damn slow to focus on prime. Slower than my s95. However, the zoom is quite fast. Touch screen or button no difference.

DRTV's full review of the EOS-M. With direct comparison to the OM-D and GF-5's AF

Oh? Is STM faster than USM? I always thought it has smoother zooming and quieter only, especially for video.

The 40mm on the 5D3 isn't that fast no?

Note: just so there's no confusion, I meant ring USM

Ring USM is faster than STM for sure on a Dslr. But dunno if this is true on an EOS-M.

lol, STM is faster with CDAF. Jeez...

Comparison with 650D

One of these days I'll need to try to do this test... if only out of curiosity. Not sure how it'll ever be an apple to apple comparison though...

It will not be. But then again some people tend to only look at paper specs. Not sure if they do any extensive real world testing on their own or rely on charts only though.

Don't really care about specs and such. Think that the EOS-M is still an awesome camera, with all the goodness packed into a small package.

For stationary objects I agree... as it share the same sensor as the 650D. But Canon need to come out with more EOS-M mount lens, else focusing on EF/EF-S lenses are way too slow.

Toady i went for morning shoot at Merlion. A few guys taking pictures there came and talk to me becos i am using EOS M mounting EF-S 10-22/ 17-55. Asking for comments on the camera.
There are many ppl who are interested in such camera from Canon. Focusing is slower then DSLR but still useable. I had a lot of fun using it and the image quailty is really good.
Great vacation camera for me.
Hope Canon can improve it in the next model.

Share some pictures taken with EOS M

If Canon really fixes the AF problem, it may really sell well... But not sure if it's enough to win new buyers.

If the AF issue is resolved, I'll sell my Olympus OMD and get the EOS-M plus upcoming 35 f/2 IS lens. At least the latter is compatible with Canon FF camera. :bsmilie:

Honestly, I expect Canon AF to easily match Sony NEX series. The idea of on-sensor AF phase sensors + contrast based AF makes a lot of sense to me, both speed and accuracy should be easily achievable.

Well, I'm not an expert in mechanics, so I don't know how much firmware upgrade can improve the AF speed... But if it really matches NEX's AF or OMD's AF speed, It's really worth considering in the future..

NEX or OMD? lol, both aren't even in the same league when it comes to AF. The new NEX are better but you almost don't notice the improvement.

Oh, I was referring to Canon's EOS-M's (rumored) Firmware Upgrade. If only it can be as fast as OM-D or NEX..

I know ;-) that's why I was trying to say the NEX isn't any faster than the EOS M as it is now already.

Waiting for EVF. :bsmilie:

hmmm, I have quite +ve about NEX's AF in live view...thou I know it's much slower than OM-D's AF..

Depends on where you are coming from. For Canon users it might appear fast. lol
