 |  Canon EOS M Review  Canon has finally made the leap into ILC (interchangeable lens cameras) market with the long awaited EOS M. Along with the new camera comes a new line of EF-M lenses, designed specifically for this new mount. Canon did not hold back putting this camera together, equipping it with an 18-Megapixel APS-C sized imaging sensor, DIGIC 5 image processor, Hybrid CMOS AF system, 3.0-inch Touch LCD and an ever valuable adapter that allows you to use all of the EF and EF-S lenses and all of their features; which is very important, since there are currently only two EF-M lenses available. Canon has also included all of the other great features you have come to expect from a Canon point-n-shoot, including their Scene Intelligent Auto shooting mode, Handheld night and HDR modes, and a continuous AF system for video when used with a Canon STM lens. All of this has been crammed into a very compact and unintimidating body that is not much bigger than a some of their PowerShot cameras. Currently the EOS-M mount has only two offerings to start out the EF-M series of lenses. This line of lenses has been designed to be much more compact to fit the camera body while still providing all of the great features and quality that come from a Canon lens. Both lenses feature the STM motor for silent focusing and use during continuous AF video capture. These lenses (not all) will also have the optical image stabilization built in, since the camera does not. These two lenses have a solid, comfortable feel and both the zoom and focus rings turn very smoothly. Since there are only two lenses currently (July 2013), the Mount Adapter EF-EOS M is a must have, allowing you to use any and all of the EF and EF-S lenses, giving you access to one of the best lens collections available. The only drawback that we have found to using the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens with the adapter is that the AF seems to be much slower than with the EF-M lenses... Continue Reading |

First is an all new lens for their DX format (APS-C) dSLRs. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR lens was designed to be a versatile travel lens that covers a broad 7.8x zoom range. It covers a field of view that is wide enough for most landscapes, while at the same time offers decent telephoto magnification for portraits, close-ups, and bringing distant objects a bit closer. Its equivalent zoom range on a DX format camera is 27-210mm. Similar in size to the AF-S 18-105mm, the new 18-140mm uses ED glass elements, offers 4 stops of optical image stabilization correction thanks to built in VR (Vibration Reduction), and uses a Silent Wave Motor (SVM) for quite and precise autofocus in both still and video capture.
