I own a very nice Canon DSLR, but wanted something more portable and compatible

The camera is certainly not as fast as my DSLR

The small size of the body means you can drop it in a pocket (with the lens off), it has a decent set of native lens options, and the optional lens adapter lets you use any Canon-compatible cropped sensor DSLR lens with the M3 body

Great lightweight DSLR camera

shoots as clear as a DSLR but is a lot more compact and easier to take places

love this camera, half the size of my dslr but puts out great quality photos, I may not use the dslr again.
