A month or so with the EOS-M and things to say

EOS-M with 18-55mm Kit Lens
So I bought the EOS-M.. despite numerous negative reviews out there, especially on the slow auto-focus speed. Is it really that bad? I had been using it for some time. Yes.. auto focus is slower than my DSLR with USM lenses, but its perfectly fine. (Sometime I feel that its faster than the autofocus on Nikon DSLRs)

Initially, I was disappointed, when I was testing the autofocus in my room. I wasn't really taking any pictures, just trying to get it to focus on random items. It was SLOW.. really slow. But I after taking it out for a real world test, it's not bad at all. And touch to focus helps a lot too, rather than focusing and re-framing method that we often employ. So it seems the 'slow autofocus' problem only seems to be bothering people who doesn't own the camera or had not use the camera to take any pictures.

Cons? I wish manual focus had some kind of help, maybe like the focus peaking feature found in some other cameras, also, it seems to a lot of turning to adjust a tiny bit of focus :/
