Some test pics with my new Canon EOS M.....

I know DRMW will be interested in some pics with the new toy....I'm not assuming these are particularly good pics, but they are all far better quality than I ever had before and show some tricky situations where my point and shoot just wouldn't do like shooting into sunlight or very high contrast and also portrait shots with a nice blured background.

I have lots to learn and this little camera has blown my mind with what it can do...even some shots taken in a dark room with the lights off have come out crystal clear...the Atmos at the end was in the dark..!!!

High contrast framed with two moss covered trees..

Into the sun using Backlight Control...

Scenery...

Macro...

High contrast with Backlight Control again...

Portrait...

and again...

in colour...my usual model...

This was taken in the dark...I could't tell the time it was so dark...

Like I say I have a lot to learn but I am having lots of fun trying at the moment The 22mm lens is out soon which I will get and it will then literally fit in a pocket but is the quality of an SLR...in fact this is a pocket size 650D..!!

Hope you enjoy,

Yours,

Andy.

very good pics Andy.

I'm considering a dslr as the lx3 is brilliant for macro but not a lot of good for scenery due to its very wide angle lense. My daughter has an old 5mp one i might borrow. I think its a nikon d50. I used to be really good at photography and even learnt to...

Oh yes new toy in hand this weekend....

Looking forward to a few days in the big city :) See you Sat my friend, Andy.

Did you got the lens adapter for standard Canon SLR lenses? Congratulations for your pics. Cheers, Nilo

The adapter and 22mm lens aren't out yet....

but I will get them both in the next few weeks. Fantastic piece of kit and the picture quality is a big jump from my little Canon IXUS 2..!! Lots to learn but it's fun, Are you interested in one..? Yours, Andy.

I go to get one but ...

I need the adapter to justify the acquisition. The fact is that I did a very minor upgrade for my walk around camera (S90 to S100) and I'm amazed by the quality of the pics. Canon is making great cameras those days. I'm wondering how great the pics will b...

AF Speed

and lack of manual controls are my biggest bearbug with the EOS-M. My dad has a sizeable collection of L and legacy canon lenses which I would like to capitalzie on. When testing it, I was greatly put off by the AF speed, which I need for street photograp...

Great lens...

Like you say the AF isn't the fastest but not an issue for me and if a firmwear update sorts it then even better. I'm very impressed with the pic quality and fingers crossed my pics will improve in time...London this weekend for more practice but they'll ...
