EOS - M3


Any 'lobang' on when the EOS M3 is going to arrive?
 

Buying from Japan, is the charger adaptor compatible for Singapore? Japan is 120V... Anyone can advise?

Also saw the pre-order in Amazon JP, quite a good deal with VF.

What is the retail price and where does it sell in Singapore for the current EVF-DC1?

Most chargers today are universal models who can use 120V as well as 230V. A physical adapter might be necessary due to different pin design. But I saw some extension cords here in Singapore with a more universal design that can accommodate Japanese pin design.

Should be fine. I bought my M2 from Japan and I have no problem with the charger.
 

Will using adaptor with ef lenses slows down AF significantly? ..
Noticeably. Whether this is significant for you we can't tell. It also depends on what you intend to do / achieve. For stationary scenery and similar things I doubt that a slower AF will have any impact.
The contract AF system is slower due to the way it works. Another factor is the EF lens AF system: Micro motor? STM? USM?

Intend to use it with 70-200 F2.8 II, 24-70 II ... Also possibly tamron 150-600 for birding and 100mm macro...
 

M2 didnt work well with Tamron but quite responsive with the canon lens. Not sure if M3 is improved.

Using M1 and EF adapter: With Sigma 10-20 I got focus hunting, something that never occured when used with 50D. The 40mm STM locks focus quickly.
 

The new adaptor have glass element and IS, wonder will it affect the crop magnification

It doesn't work well with my Sigma 8mm FE also. Canon lens seems to have better performance, especially those STM ones.
 

Finally the M3 has shipped from amazon jp. Hope it reach by next wed ;)

I suspect the contrast AF system of the M cameras works better with the STM lenses. The working principles match better. The same goes for phase detection AF and the EF lenses (Canon or 3rd party).

Coming to Singapore only at the end of Apr. I hope they have a M3 + EVF kit... Otherwise, I'll just order from Amazon Japan.
 

I checked with yodobashi and bic camera on different occasions. Apparently all body+evf package snapped up and canon jp has no indication when restock will happen. The evf itself costs 33,000 yen but with the bundle it costs only 3000 yen which is limited to 25,000 units.
