PIXIP 0 #1 August 16, 2018 Hey all, I'm looking for the lightest Mirrorless around (for my first camera rig). According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canon_EOS_digital_cameras, the original 2012 EOS M model is the lightest of all Canons, with which I can then use my existing EF lenses. However, it seems like it only uses a wifi remote. My questions: 1. Can any EOS-M camera use a wired remote? for a blow switch. 2. Can any EOS-M camera use a programmed wireless remote? as in to program it to take a single photo every second or a burst in timed intervals. 3. Can any other mirrorless on the market have a wired remote while weighing under 300g? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only problem is the Canon lenses I have which I won't be able to use. But that isn't a deal breaker. How are the Sony NEX series cameras? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
degeneration 5 #4 August 16, 2018 The sony A5100 is smaller so presumably lighter, than the A6000, so if lightweight is the priority, it is also worth considering. According to dpreview (https://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=sony_a5100&products=sony_a6000) the A5100 is 283g, and the a6000 344g. Presume that is with kit lens.Sky Switches - Affordable stills camera tongue switches and conversion adaptors, supporting various brands of camera (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Panasonic).

Can any other mirrorless on the market have a wired remote while weighing under 300g? Thanks I used a Canon M5 with a tongue switch (2.5mm jack). Worked fine. Note that it uses an EF-M format lens. So I you are trying to shoot with an EF or EF-S, you will need an adapter.Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
