I recently decided to make the switch from a Canon DSLR to a Canon R mirrorless. It was easy to learn since I'm already used to Canons. I bought the EF to RF adapter (with the adjustable ring) so I could use my DSLR lenses with it. My only complaint is that Canon should give you the adapter free (they used to!) when you buy the camera. So far, it's taking good photos, and I decided to buy the kit lens that goes with the camera, so I can use it for all-around use when I'm out and about. I have a very nice Sigma macro lens that I bought at the same time, which needs the EF to RF adapter, but it takes very nice macros on this camera. I'm glad I bought it.

Nice adapter with good autofocus...we can use all canon DSLR lenses..

I am a hobbyist at best. I have had my Canon DSLR for about 5 months now and I wanted a lens to take better photos of my kids. This lens does not disappoint. It excels at taking rather close portraits in low light. I then use a free photo editor that I found online to tweak them. It move super slow, though, so it's not suitable for pets (except the time I got lucky above) or sports. I highly recommend this lens. I haven't had it that long so cannot speak to it's durability.

Still on a learning curve with my first DSLR but I am enjoying it so far. Can't wait to go with photo club to shoot out in desert. I better understand some of the features with the aid of manual and online videos. Really happy with this camera.

First thing to get out of the way is that if you need a DSLR mainly for photography (not videography) then you can't go wrong with this one. The thing that will make any difference in your photos/results is NOT the camera body; its your skills/vision/compositions AND the lenses you have. Save money on body, buy this cheaper unit and use your saving to buy a second lens (the 50mm f1.8 is a MUST HAVE).Now onto why i really like this camera:1. Obviously the price! Espacially when paying more does not get you much more. This is espacially true for people who are looking for their first DSLR. These camera and their accessories WILL get expensive. As i said, the camera body is where you can cut some corners without impacting your end-results much. Buying it during holidays saves you more with deals and packages floating around.2. Battery life: My first DSLR was a Rebel XSi. It was very good but the best part was battery life - outstanding! Later i upgraded to T1i and sold my XSi. The T1i offers higher resolution LCD screen BUT that also causes the battery to drain much faster. This T3 is infact sort of a clone of XSi - same resolution, same kind of LCD and yes, same great battery life!3. Light weight: Its also very light and won't cause any trouble even after a whole day of shooting/wearing this on your neck. If you pair it with a light-weight prime lens like 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 2.0 (i would highly recommend both) - the whole package becomes a light-weight amazing photos machine.4. Easy to use: Perfect for beginners and offers much room to grow/get serious with your stuff. If you are coming from a point-and-shoot, it can act like one where you don't have to worry about any settings at all.This is my 2nd body along with my T1i - notice that i did not call it a "backup camera" - it is infact one of my primary camera. I grab either one depending on which one has the lens mounted that i need at the moment.Final note: I was a Canon-guy and Canon was first to bring the affordable DSLR to market so i went with their product. If you are just starting, it might be worth looking at Nikon D3100 as i've heard that is a better entry-level camera. But if you already have a collection of Canon lenses (or like them more), this is your camera.

The bundle is amazing, Include each product of the photo reference. Amazing camera for vintage instant photos, the film looka beautiful. Definitely it is a camera that you always have to carried in.

Have had my previous ones for.10 years so was afraid to.purchase. these are better than the first

As a Canon DSLR shooter this adapter is a must for owning the EOS M. It's really the only reason why I bought the EOS M. I love the 22mm f2 that comes with it, but being able to use my nearly $10k worth of lens on this makes it a steal. I believe without this adapter the camera is very limited. The adapter fits the camera and lens nicely. I personally feel that the lense attaching to the EOS M feels strange, tight compared to all my DSLRs, but this adapter and lens are snug once attached, and that's what matters.
