I recently decided to make the switch from a Canon DSLR to a Canon R mirrorless. It was easy to learn since I'm already used to Canons. I bought the EF to RF adapter (with the adjustable ring) so I could use my DSLR lenses with it. My only complaint is that Canon should give you the adapter free (they used to!) when you buy the camera. So far, it's taking good photos, and I decided to buy the kit lens that goes with the camera, so I can use it for all-around use when I'm out and about. I have a very nice Sigma macro lens that I bought at the same time, which needs the EF to RF adapter, but it takes very nice macros on this camera. I'm glad I bought it.

Use it all the time instead of my very expensive dslr!

I normally shoot with a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but I was going on a trip and didn’t have room to carry camera gear. I also wanted something very sturdy, because I was traveling with small children, and knew I wouldn’t be able to “baby” camera gear.This camera does not have full manual controls for shutter speed, so advanced photographers may be disappointed. I would say the image quality is about the same as my iPhone, but it does have an outstanding macro setting for closeups of insects and such.

I've used DSLR cameras for about a decade and my go to camera has been needing a replacement for a while now. I decided to go with a Canon M50 Mark II, knowing adapters were available to use my existing lenses with this camera. I have used this adapter with my Tamron 70-300 Macro lens a bunch in the short time I've had it and it works beautifully. I like the quality of this adapter enough my next purchase is going to be the speed booster available from Viltrox.

Strap seems great but the it is too thick for the mirrorless camera, ok to use with big DSLR Going to return

First thing to get out of the way is that if you need a DSLR mainly for photography (not videography) then you can't go wrong with this one. The thing that will make any difference in your photos/results is NOT the camera body; its your skills/vision/compositions AND the lenses you have. Save money on body, buy this cheaper unit and use your saving to buy a second lens (the 50mm f1.8 is a MUST HAVE).Now onto why i really like this camera:1. Obviously the price! Espacially when paying more does not get you much more. This is espacially true for people who are looking for their first DSLR. These camera and their accessories WILL get expensive. As i said, the camera body is where you can cut some corners without impacting your end-results much. Buying it during holidays saves you more with deals and packages floating around.2. Battery life: My first DSLR was a Rebel XSi. It was very good but the best part was battery life - outstanding! Later i upgraded to T1i and sold my XSi. The T1i offers higher resolution LCD screen BUT that also causes the battery to drain much faster. This T3 is infact sort of a clone of XSi - same resolution, same kind of LCD and yes, same great battery life!3. Light weight: Its also very light and won't cause any trouble even after a whole day of shooting/wearing this on your neck. If you pair it with a light-weight prime lens like 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 2.0 (i would highly recommend both) - the whole package becomes a light-weight amazing photos machine.4. Easy to use: Perfect for beginners and offers much room to grow/get serious with your stuff. If you are coming from a point-and-shoot, it can act like one where you don't have to worry about any settings at all.This is my 2nd body along with my T1i - notice that i did not call it a "backup camera" - it is infact one of my primary camera. I grab either one depending on which one has the lens mounted that i need at the moment.Final note: I was a Canon-guy and Canon was first to bring the affordable DSLR to market so i went with their product. If you are just starting, it might be worth looking at Nikon D3100 as i've heard that is a better entry-level camera. But if you already have a collection of Canon lenses (or like them more), this is your camera.

Seriously, if you own a Canon camera (DSLR or mirrorless, APS-C or full-frame) then you should definitely own this lens. In fact, it should probably be the first lens that is purchased after having a kit-lens that was provided with your camera body. Very sharp, light, and relatively small - a perfect lens to just leave on your camera most of the time! Any potential downsides (not the fastest aperture lens, plastic build) are wiped away by the low cost and very good image quality! Oh, it doesn't come with a lens hood and the Canon OEM hoods are ridiculously expensive. Just find a good third-party hood on Amazon for 1/5 of the cost of the Canon hood.

As a Canon DSLR shooter this adapter is a must for owning the EOS M. It's really the only reason why I bought the EOS M. I love the 22mm f2 that comes with it, but being able to use my nearly $10k worth of lens on this makes it a steal. I believe without this adapter the camera is very limited. The adapter fits the camera and lens nicely. I personally feel that the lense attaching to the EOS M feels strange, tight compared to all my DSLRs, but this adapter and lens are snug once attached, and that's what matters.
