Apologies for the delay in posting about this camera given I have a huge collection of Canon pro gear, but in comparison to the Olympus E-M1 Mark II announcement, this camera is so under-whelming, but guess that is what we now expect from Canon.<\/p>\n

Yep, sure, it is Canon’s best mirrorless camera but that isn’t saying much!<\/p>\n

Oh well, here goes the specs for those die hard Canon users who think it may be useful, although on specs it probably should be better compared to the original budget level Olympus E-M10<\/a> of 2014 than a 2016 E-M1 Mark II camera as here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nice camera if they introduced it in 2011, but well behind the scene now.<\/p>\n

But at least they haven’t given up on the mirrorless system like Nikon has done with their Nikon 1 system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
