I know, I know. Somebody will say that only I can make that decission. Well, if I could, I wouldn't be starting this thread

I currently have a 60D and a 7D, so I can't decide if the M would do something the other 2 could do or not. Please give me reasons to buy, or not to buy. PLEASE HELP.The one benefit it has its the ability to use the 22mm f/2 to make a compact APS-C camera with a wide fast lens. I wouldn't buy it if I was in your shoes.

Aug 16, 2013 12:04 | #4 I think you need to ask yourself, am I ever out and about and wish I had my camera? If the answer to that is yes, then would you be more likely to bring the EOS-M with 22 f/2? Primary Gear - M6 Mark II; Σ f/1.4 Trio (16, 30, 56) - Σ 150-600mm f/5 - 6.3 C

Aug 16, 2013 13:33 | #7 get rid of the 60D and get the M. Use the 7D for telephoto work. Best thing about the M is that you can shoot without being intrusive in close quarters. It's like shooting the pancake on FF. People just dont take you seriously, and dont care if you point that little thing at them. Slap on a big lens, and they'll be dodging you.

But for $300/350, which of those gets you an APSC sensor with a lens? Limited lens selection, yes. But it's quite a bargain now if you ask me.

I found myself facing this same question just last week. Do I get the "M" for a great deal or not too. Love that little pocket cam , that look alone with an "L" lense is killer. Canon 6D , Canon 30D , Canon 10D, 24-105 4F IS "L" , 40mm 2.8 STM, and the trusty Nifty Fifty. Coming soon Canon 7D and Tamron 24-70 2.8mm.

hennie Goldmember More info | Aug 17, 2013 05:56 | #14 Alternatively get a 100D and a pancake. About as light and capable of working with a wider range of lenses.

whitevenom Goldmember  More info | Aug 17, 2013 09:09 | #15 I was just in the same situation this week. I want a smaller camera I can take out on family outings with my family when I don't want to take my 7d. I decided to purchase the M with the 18-55 lens. I was looking at the NEX system but the Canon looked to be the best for the money with the recent price drop. I plan on getting the ef adapter and have some fun with this little camera, it should be here Tuesday from B&H Gear List~Website
