彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) is super psyched with the EOS M.

 

“Wow, this camera is the bomb!” RT said. “Finally there is a camera that I can control. I don’t even need a shutter release. I just point and it focuses. And the mirrorless body is light like me [1]. Best yet, I can even reach the lens for zooming.”

 

Pictured here with the Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM lens [2], the Canon EOS M is the first mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by Canon [3]. It is effectively a miniature version of the Canon EOS 650D with a simpler physical interface. Like the 7D, it contains a 18 megapixel APS-C crop frame CMOS chip. But unlike the 7D, it's focusing performance is rather poor.

 

However its saving grace is its ability to do full HD 1080p videography in AI servo mode—which is what SML now uses for lightweight travel use. Also now semi-permanently mounted on tripod to do videography for the Serenity series. Recommended.

Balancing with the subwoofer [1] as well as the strap for the camera, 彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) mounted the Canon EOS 7D [2] first on the Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip [3] onto the Manfrotto 3030 Pan/Tilt Head with Quick Release [4] on the Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod [5].

    

“Together with the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM lens [6], this setup weighs more than 1000 times my total weight,” RT said. “My hands cannot really reach the shutter release on the camera, but thankfully the battery grip has another shutter release which allows me to do portrait photography easy. Perfect for me!”

    

# Notes

1. Canton AS 22 is a 70-Watt, a 220mm woofer, 22-150 Hz frequency response, floor-standing bass-reflex subwoofer. Recommended. canton.de

    

2. The Canon EOS 7D is an 18.0 effective megapixel APS-C crop CMOS digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon. Recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_7D

    

3. BG-E7 grip allows use of 6 AA cells, a single LP-E6 or two LP-E6 batteries. Highly recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_7D

    

4. Now replaced by the Manfrotto 804RC2 and 200PL-14 QR Plate, 3030 is a popular tripod head made in Italy by Manfrotto. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/434497-REG/Manfrotto_804RC...

    

5. Newly redesigned, the Manfrotto 190XB is lighter in weight and slightly more compact. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved. Highly recommended. www.manfrotto.com/aluminium-tripod-black-without-head

    

6. The Canon EF 24–70mm is a family of professional EF mount wide-to-normal zoom lenses manufactured and sold by Canon. The first of the family, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L (pictured), was introduced in 2002 to replace the well-regarded 28-70mm f/2.8L. Two later versions were announced in 2012. Highly recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_24%E2%80%9370mm_lens
