The following posts may also apply to other cameras in the EOS-M series, other compact mirrorless cameras or even any camera that you own which hasn't gotten any sort of high praise in reviews. I have also read the reviews on the M3, already knowing from past experience that my levels of satisfaction with my previous cameras were much higher than what I would expect based on what I was reading. As with many other products, there are details that reveal clever design even though they are not obvious at first. For me the choice was conditioned by a temporarily good price, accumulated good experience with Canon and accumulated Canon lenses. This blog will show why I'm still happy with my purchase and it may also help you to (re)discover the enjoyment in a product you already own.
