For pity's sake Dan can you stop with the food pics already

I'm sorry but my life goal is to torture you

Mission accomplished Danny

Whilst out walking, we heard a commotion in a nearby tree and saw this possum being attacked by a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and a Crow. The poor fellow was having his tail chomped on as he fled up and down the tree trunk, trying to escape his tormentors.

I managed to grab this one shot as he made a getaway.

Any feedback on Servo tracking of M3? Can it track kids moving around in indoor activities (indoor sports like Karate / stage plays, performances)? How about kids outdoor activities (Soccer)? Thinking of downsizing from 70D setup. Cost and performance are the two things I am trying to see it can come close to 70d setup.

Thanks

Nice shot. That is a better looking possum than the ones we have here in the states.

Although I have an M3 and like using it for what it is, if your intent is to use it to track/follow things with it, I would recommend against it. Your 70D is probably better than the M3 would be especially if you are looking to attach a telephoto/long lens to it.

Thanks Gart. Video seems to be better on M3.

Seems I've read this somewhere as well.

WOW! I'm impressed with what you guys are getting out of those little "M's", and this is no exception.

Thanks for those nice words and to all the folks that “Liked” the shot, I appreciate it.

I had the Canon M3 and lens combo mounted on an astronomical tracking platform so that it was straightforward to set everything up as the camera/lens tracked the Moon as it moved across the sky. I took 10 exposures and used a program called Autostakkert!2 to align, stack and combine the 10 frames into a single frame with a much improved signal to noise ratio.

I then opened the stacked frame in a program called Registax6 which uses a function called Wavelets to dig out the high frequency data and make the detail and clarity really pop.

Finally, CS6 provided the finishing touches.

Using this technique/workflow for 10 stacked images really allows you to push the data much harder compared to just processing a single frame where the image quality begins to break down much earlier in the process.

Cheers

I've had my M3 since May and to be honest I think it has a fantastic sensor that can create superb quality images. I'm more than satisfied with mine and I feel it gets quite unfair criticism sometimes, mainly for its AF capabilities. If you want a camera that does fast action, don't buy an M3! Perhaps the M5 will satisfy those requiring such a camera, but there's no reviews yet so we'll have to wait and see.

I would like to know if anyone has tried to use a Tamron 18 - 200 Di lll on a Canon M3 , I am aware that there were problems back in 2014 -2015. Since the M5 is due out later this month is it worth getting the Tamron 18 -200?
Thanks
