<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4195639, member: 19463&quot;]I had no use for the M series when it came out since I had already moved to full frame and was not moving back to a crop series that used different lenses.&nbsp; That changed with the release of the RP which is small and full frame.&nbsp; The problem is that Canon has not released small and cheap lenses for this obviously amateur model (the have the R for pros).&nbsp; I only use old EF lenses via the adapter.&nbsp; I hope Canon will come out with a R mount pancake lens to play down that huge lens on small camera look. They issued a 35mm macro which is too short for coins on full frame. I hope they correct that at some early date. </p><p><br /></p><p>The RP has a viewfinder with eye proximity sensor that turn it off when not up to your face that turns it off for sake of battery life.&nbsp; For coins, I use the articulated flip out panel.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I own half a dozen tripods and never use them for coins.&nbsp; A solid stand made from a couple dollars worth of scrap wood is so much easier to use.&nbsp; I made one on request for one online member and mailed it to him only shortly before he passed away.&nbsp; I&#039;m out of that business now. The postage was four times the cost of the materials. The light weight of mirrorless would allow a much lighter stand but I have not made one yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
