The Canon EOS-M3 mirrorless is such a nice camera it is pity Canon doesn’t push it on a marketing level as other companies with their own mirrorless cameras. CanonWatch just reviewed the camera and writes:
The EOS M3 is powerful and well-made mirrorless camera. Everything works as advised, and it works really well. Image quality is excellent, build quality too, the AF is on pair with most competitors, it’s an EOS so it shares all the powerful possibilities of the system, and it is small and compact.
It’s a well made and powerful mirrorless camera. Nevertheless, you can’t avoid the feeling that Canon is not yet fully committed to the EOS M system. The most visible sign of this lack of commitment is likely the fact that the EOS M system has only four native lenses.
Come on Canon, just give us a strong sign and release a proper EOS-M lens roadmap! That would be something or not?

M mount cannot support ff.
Canon must at some point launch a serious challenge to Sony E mount, but this will not be it.
sure it can.
why though .. it’s not even required nor necessary. the volume seller is still APS-C.
it’s the same throat diameter as the E mount.. besides… like canon needs to worry that much about Sony’s FE anyways, sooner or later Sony will get bored of it and move on to something else.
Heck sony can’t even keep their own stores open, and can’t even support their own products. Heck – for Pro service in the states, Sony USA feels so good about things they don’t even carry stock! – they go to lensrentals.
It misses really many, many features with just 1 Fn button that you can set for just a few features + poor primes offer, it can’t compete with Fuji, Sony, even with 4/3 Oly and Panasonic, It’s nice toy but for hobbysts.
They probably don’t push it because it uses a Sony sensor 😉
I have M + 3 lenses. I have tested M3. It’s still lagging behind other
mirrorless, I find it very near to what Samsung NX300 is(2013). No tele
primes – no more interest from me. Here is my M3 walk around with
samples – http://www.nonchoiliev.com/blog/2767 (use Google translate from Bulgarian).
Maybe it’s just out of embarrassment? The a6000 blows it away on so many levels. The M3 is about 3 years behind and just goes to show how behind the times Canon is.
