I am looking forward to your review Klaus!
As I am an almost happy M1 user, I was eagerly awaiting the M3 to come.
Now that it is here, it shows already some severe shortcomings.
Initially I was going to buy the M3 as soon as it became available, but right now I am holding back.
The M1 still serves me well for what i am doing and some of the shortcomings have not been properly adressed with the new model.
Canon even added new concerns to the list, e.g. the strange menue (a cross-bread of DSLR & Powershot) and a green color cast even in raw mode; very strange!
On top of things, for M-users in EU staffed already with M-lenses it is not attractive to buy a 2nd 18-55mm...
The very useful Tamron 18-200mm VC in EF-M mount is not yet compatible with M3 and many other Tamron lenses, too.
I may even wait as long as a M4 appears before I buy anything new!
