Rugby with the EOS-M

[Mightyquin]

Took these with the M to see how badly it really performs with sports. As I found, it's completely useless for sport! Taken with an equally useless EF80-200 lens.

It would probably be better if it had an electronic viewfinder but trying to follow action on an LCD - impossible

I agree but not only because following the action is difficult but to use the screen you have to hold the camera away from you thereby losing the stability that locking the camera to your face provides. Even so I think you may achieve better results with a higher shutter speed - prevailing conditions permitting of course.

Hmm this was tongue in cheek. I thought the M performed 'OK' given a little anticipation.

I'm surprised my images on here look blurry/soft - they're not, when I view the files they're sharp! Oh well...........

It's more of a landscape, travel camera, than a sports camera. But I still love mine.

Great timing on the first image, and looks like a forward pass on the last!

Unfortunately all a little bit blurry,but as Ian points out the best way to show you work is by using Flickr.
