Canon EOS M3 review (Techradar)

Canon EOS M3

Techradar reviewed the Canon EOS M3. Not an entirely positive review. In the conclusion they write:

The M3 has some tough competition and as with the original M, the new camera is capable of producing high quality images that are at least a match for those from cameras such as the Olympus OM-D E-M10 and Sony Alpha 6000. However, the occasionally frustrating autofocus system and Canon’s lack of commitment to the system, with a failure to bring out an enticing line-up of lenses or accessories, means that those looking for a smaller alternative to an SLR are better off looking elsewhere.

Inexperienced photographers are less likely to be concerned about the limited number of directly compatible lenses and will be happy with the step up in image quality in comparison with a point-and-shoot compact camera or the average smartphone. Nevertheless, there will be times when they struggle to get the subject sharp.

At some point in the review they say that “the 18-55mm kit limits detail resolution significantly“. While I do not really cover that, it makes me think about the rumor of a new EF-M 18-55mm IS STM lens I got some weeks ago. To see all our EOS M3 coverage click here.
