Visit to Washington Square Park, with Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS STM lens:

The fountain, birds feeding, plastic man, flowers and bees, art, slow chess and speed chess, strollers, a guitar strummer, a squirrel eating a French fry, and the piano man, playing live.

Dim Light and in the Night Test Video, with Canon EF 35mm f2.0 IS lens.

Canon EOS M Test Video: Dim Light and in the Night on Vimeo

From dark movie-theater corridors, to underground eateries, down in the subway, and night trains, to stores outside late at night.

Nothing wrong with this footage, especially for a tiny camera with interchangeable lenses. Bokei fine. I watched full screen on an ipad. The footage in the subway reminded me of older tv footage, a good thing in my mind. Nice feel.

A Visit to the NYC High Line

Canon EOS M Video: A Visit to the NYC High Line on Vimeo

NYC's new elevated park, formed from an old elevated freight rail line - The High Line.

Flora and photographers, loungers and construction workers, bugs and insects, strollers and sculptures, and artists at work. From 23rd Street to Gansevoort Street in Manhattan.

Lower contrast, sharpness and saturation than 'Standard.' Shot with EF 35mm IS f2.0.

What a lovely, inexpensive and unobtrusive camera/lens combination - and what a lovely slice of early 21st century life. Thanks, Mark.

A Zoo Video using Canon's newest, just-released lens: the EF S 55-250mm IS STM (88-400mm equ.)

The new lens is made for video (quiet), and is lightweight and compact despite the reach, so it works well with the EOS M. It is also relatively cheap, for a Canon lens. A perfect zoo lens, so we naturally went to a (small) zoo:

Tropical birds and water birds preening, feeding and cleaning; snow monkeys, cleaning and feeding; penguin feeding time; sea lions feeding time; children's zoo; snakes; turtles; and gardens. And human visitors of all ages.

The audio is interesting, as you hear the reactions of the visitors to what you are viewing, and some music. And you can see that the IS is really effective - almost all the shots were at 400mm (equ.) handheld.

Another with the EF S 55-250mm IS STM lens:

Canon EOS M Video: French Invasion of Bryant Park, NYC on Vimeo

Meeting and greeting French chefs; French metallurgy; French wines; a French model photo shoot; sculpting the Eiffel Tower with butter, inside a large plastic bubble; delivering the largest American flag in the world; French bulldog; the Marseillaise; and raising a French hot-air balloon - up, up and away, and down.

A Colorful Visit to the Woods

So many videos depict woods areas as dull and colorless. I went looking for color and water.
