Works as advertised. Will need a usb port to to give some power to it otherwise works really well.

... wie so oft benötigt und doch scheinbar so fern. Durch Amazon Marketplace war er sehr nah, am 2. Tag nach der abendlichen Bestellung.Schneller geht es nicht, mehr kann ich mir nicht wünschen. Die Ware ist ordentlich verpackt gewesen und ist voll funktional.

Bin begeistert.Kleiner Adapter für die Tasche damit Frau auf alle "Anschlüsse" vorbereitet ist.Robust verarbeitet, gute HandhabungKlare Kaufempfehlung!

The fact that I can use it on my Dell AIO that allows me to switch to external monitor. Great for Mac tech's. Saves space.

First off, this camera is capable of taking some GREAT pictures. After all, this is a cut-down mirrorless version of the Canon Rebel T4i. It has the same large APS-C image sensor and DIGIC processing as the T4i. However, getting those great pictures often requires some effort. It's low-light capability makes it a worthy choice over to a high-end point-&-shoot.Canon released the EOS M to great anticipation, which turned into disappointment. It was plagued by autofocus issues that are mostly resolved in firmware (mostly, as I will explain below). It was also way too expensive at $799 list, and only 2 lenses were available at the time (2 more have been released since). After large stocks of these cameras were found to be just sitting around, they have become available at a firesale price, making them terrific values. I believe if the list were more like $549, they would have sold a lot more of these to start with.Despite all the lack of love for this camera, it has ultimately proved to be a very useful tool, but one that requires using it more like a DSLR instead of a point-&-shoot. All of the usual plusses and minuses that are associated with Canon DSLRs certainly apply here, with the exception that, due to its small size, most of the controls are going to be found on the touchscreen rather than a dial or button. There is the Q button on the back that makes many of the photo shooting options accessible, and changing the mode, white balance, ISO sensitivity, or exposure compensation, is relatively straightforward, even if a few of the options could be streamlined further.As mentioned, the picture quality can be fantastic, even at ISO values of 800 and 1600, however, it will sometimes require multiple attempts to get a focus lock, especially in low-light settings, and especially when using the EF-M lens adapter (discussed below). And while the shutter response isn't quite as fast as a DSLR, it is still sufficient to get most action shots (I have been able to consistently catch dogs in mid jump). The hot-shoe is fully E-TTL capable, so any of Canon flashes can be used to their full extent on this camera (even the big ones, although they will look a little funny on such a small camera).There are a couple of accessories that might be considered essential to this camera that are not part of the original package: The 90EX flash unit (original list price $150, seriously Canon?), and the EF-M lens adapter (original list price $200, yagoddabkidding!) that will allow any Canon EF lens to be used with the camera. Fortunately, both items can be had pretty far below list price online and will prove handy if using this camera for any length of time.The adapter is useful because there are a dearth of EF-M lenses that will natively fit this camera. I've used the 15~85mm, 50mm f/1.8, and 55~250mm on this camera and they function well, if not quickly. They are ungainly looking attached to such a small camera, but they certainly get the job done. Since the only native EF-M lenses for this camera are the 18~55mm, 22mm pancake, 11~22mm, and 55~200mm (with the latter 2 only available via gray market or eBay), this adapter is almost a must.Ultimately, this camera is a great walking around camera whose small size and light weight make it a good stand-in for carrying around a DSLR instead. It is time to give it the love it deserves.

Worked perfect for a old pc to connect to a newer tv!

I have quite a lot of Canon gear, including quite a few L series lenses, but I am also interested in the non-professional units as there are a lot of people who cannot, or choose not to invest in such expensive units.I have had for some time the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens, a unit released in 2005 that has caused some controversy among users as they apparently have had mixed results with it. Personally I have liked the images taken with it, but it had some annoying traits, like the noisy auto-focus and IS, and the way the lens would stick out of its fully retracted condition at random times. Still in its price point and time it was a valid update from the standard kit zoom of 55-250.So recently I acquired the EF 70-300 f4.0-5.6 IS II USM and had the following impressions of this newer piece of kit.1. It has had a major cosmetic upgrade. Gone the busy and lumpy control layout and in with a sleek smooth matte plastic shape that is bigger in diameter than the MkI - the old unit had a 58mm filter ring while the new one is at 67mm. The weight has been kept under control 710g from 630g is not too bad considering the changes "under the hood".The buttons are now recessed more and it now sports a LCD display that offers DoF indicators for the currently selected focal length, or (press a button) the FoV of the lens - which seems superfluous considering lens focal length is printed on the focusing ring about 1 cm above. For those using an ASP-C body it DOES give the equivalent FoV values automatically. Finally after another press it gives you the degree of shake experienced by the lens. PERSONALLY I have little use for any of these so I would tend to leave the display off, but that's a personal choice.2. The body is still not weather sealed but the rear element, located flush with the metal plate at the rear of the lens, is fixed in place, so it may offer some resistance to bellows effect. The lens still extends and retracts like the old one, but I have had no experience of it locking up in awkward places as before.3. The auto-focus is blazingly fast thanks to the Nano USM motor that combines best of STM and ring-type USM - I can see this appearing in more lenses (it is already present on the new Canon R series lenses for their FF- MILCs). I did not find it was hunting as the MkI did on a few occasions. This is an amazing performer in this area.4. IS offers 4 stops compared to the claimed 3 of the MkI and it seems to hold onto that. Which is just as well as my research and own experience indicates that the variable aperture of this lens loses its wider capacity significantly faster as one increases the focal length than the earlier model- essentially it is a slower lens across much of the zoom range. From what I have read this is seen as a result of the more complex optical construct of the lens.Being almost silent it is likely a much more suitable candidate for video than the previous one that sounded like a tinker's cart in comparison! Still if you don't do video (as I don't) that is less of an issue unless you are concerned about disturbing your subjects - say at a wedding...5 In terms of distortion, vignetting etc. I found both the lenses performed reasonably well in both areas - the focal range of tele-zoom is much less challenging than one going from wide to telephoto, such as the 24-105 or the 18-135. I had no difficulty in letting the PP software do its magic to make the appropriate corrections.6. Performance on FF vs APS-C. This was interesting to me... I tried both the units on a canon 700D (T5i Rebel), a 60D, 80D, 7DII and 5DIII. I found the latter three units seemed to render similarly good results, especially considering they are two crop and a FF body respectively. I was less enamored with the Rebel and OK with the 60D. I will hazard no inference here simply report my own experience and perception.Neither of these units could or should be compared to the fabulous Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM. This is one of my favourite lenses: relatively light, small form factor, incredibly sharp and responsive - but about 3 times the price of the new EF 70-300 F4.0-5.6 IS II USM, so I see these as aimed at completely different markets and one has to consider that when judging them. Being an EF rather than EF-S lens, both versions of the EF 70-300 F4.0-5.6 IS USM work on FF and APS-C bodies (plus the M-series body with the adapter) are worth considering as a great upgrade lens for those leaving the standard kits lenses and considering one day moving up to a FF body and who need the extra reach of the 70-300mm rather than one of the 70-200 EF models.These few sample images were taken hand-held using available light. The first two with the Canon 5DMkIII and the third with the Canon 7DMkIIOne of the tests of a lens is to see if it can deal with a major crop and keep its quality. So I have included two shots of a juvenile New Zealand native Tui. The first is as taken, the second is the result of a major crop. The lens has handled this extremely well in my opinion.

Bought this and the canon ef to efm adapter and fell in love with it. Decided to go out to a botanical garden to test it out.Took about 30 minutes to mentally adjust to having a fixed prime coming from a zoom lens my entire life. Learning I now have 2 leg zoom.Next challenge was trying to find the right depth of field, same cause of problem. Zoom lenses that had no concept of the idea.Once those two where learned the fun started, I enjoy photography but this brought a new love to it. Getting those beautiful shots that had perfect background blur and an extremely crisp subject.Got home that night and in a dark room it will bring light to it. A common thing I have read is that it will see better than the eye can, very true.The absolute cherry on top. The price.Shot on a Canon M50.
