Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Canon M3?
Did you have some questions about this camera today?
what is the mount adapter for again for the canon M3
Courtney B
What types of lenses are you trying to use on it?
im a beginner just wondering if i do need to buy adapter or that's an optional
Courtney B
Ok! It depends on which lenses you're using. If you're just using the lens that comes with the M3, you don't need an adapter
But if you're trying to use lenses that are made for other cameras, then you'll need an adapter
ok great I don't need other lenses for the time being
Courtney B
just deciding whether to go with lumix or canon in the same price ranage
Courtney B
What types of things do you shoot?
landscape. by the way in connecting to internet, do i need to subscribe to data? while out taking photos?
Courtney B
No. You do not need a data subscription for the wi-fi
Courtney B
The Canon M3 is an excellent camera! I would highly recommend it
There will be a setup process in the manual to allow you to connect it to your smartphone or tablet
so it uses the data of my iPhone?
Courtney B
No, it has a built-in wi-fi system
But the only thing that it works for is transferring images
So there's no fee for the wi-fi
so it transfer to my device? or you can share images from the camera?
Courtney B
To transfer it to your device
That's the only thing that it does via wi-fi
You can't surf the web or anything like that
so it comes with electronic view finder?
what does the package include?
Courtney B
Canon EOS M3 Camera Body
EF-M 18-55mm F3.5/5.6 IS STM Lens
Body Cap RF4
Strap EM200DB
Battery Pack LP-E17
Battery Charger LC-E17
Terminal Cover
Interface Cable
Lens Caps
Canon 1 Year Warranty
how much is extra battery? and what is the canon connect for?
Courtney B
I'll bring up the extra battery
what do i need the cs100 for
Courtney B
I'm checking to see what that item is
is there a cheaper alternate for the battery?
Courtney B
We only carry the Canon brand
Is this the device you were interested in?
Courtney B
It's not something that you need by any means.
What it does is it saves photos and allows you to print wirelessly from it
Courtney B
I guess that's a good alternative to buying few memory cards if you can transfer photos to it immediately?
Courtney B
It is, but it's much more expensive
You can get memory cards that hold hundreds of photos for $15
does it need to be plugged in?
memory cards are cheap nowadays
Courtney B
It does need to be plugged in to be charged
Courtney B
Tax is only charged to NY and NJ
ok thank you. I need to compare it with nikon and lumix. Any input to that?
Courtney B
I personally prefer the Lumix or Canon
Nikon's quality isn't quite as good
which lumix is comparable to the m3
Courtney B
The GM5 would be very comparable
btw the canon is not 4/3 any disadvantage?
Courtney B
There are less lenses available
That's the main disadvantage
I meant to say that Nikon isn't
The Canon does have better image quality compared to the GM5 though
IT also has faster autofocus and a flip out screen
Courtney B
M3 is newer than m10, yes?
Courtney B
Let me verify the release dates
does it have hot shoe for flash? and how much should i spend on the flash?
Courtney B
Courtney B
m10 appears to cheaper than m3
Courtney B
It is! But only because it's less of a camera
The M3 does have a hot shoe
in what way it is less of a camera
Courtney B
It has less options and lower image quality
ok. leaning now towards m3
