Hi Tony

I have the Canon EOS M3 which I purchased quite cheaply as it seems that no one (in the US) liked them so I got a bargain from B&H.

Although the current models (M5 & M6) are probably outside your price range, I thought that I'd mention that having the same Canon Menus and Interfaces between DSLR and Mirrorless has been very useful. The EOS MX series also shots RAW with the M5 having a built in EVF (= almost small DSLR size) and the M6 having a very expensive add-on EVF.

I find the M3 quite pocketable and it delivers excellent picture quality. It also uses all my Canon lenses, speedlites, extenders, wireless flash transmitters, etc.

Cheers

Dennis
