Schrödinger's Unicorns

For those of you that picked up the EOS-M during last year's big price reduction sale, what are the main objections to this camera? Have the focusing speed issues been resolved (or at least markedly improved) with firmware updates? What else is wrong with this camera?

Happy Birthday Jeff!

I kinda want to hear about this supposed sub-$700 doll.

The Graham Norton Show - last week's ep with Idris Elba, Lena Dunham, & Olivia Colman - hilarious!

I like my PCM-D50 for playback of .wav files (Redbook and the occasional PCM 24/96) from a sound quality standpoint. I don't mind the basic, single-level album folder style navigation. Although it's quite overkill for my use-case, which is work environment listening & never recording. Nicely built, solid piece of kit though. I also have not compared it to other recorders or hi-res audiophile DAPs. So this post is pretty much worthless to you.

Watched episode #3 tonight. It just keeps getting better.

I think it's pretty clear that the unit shown in the pic from CES is a prototype. I'd bet that the final version won't look like that, other than the nameplate. McIntosh has historically not been a me-too company. They also are pretty adamant about in-house development & manufacture. I hope the headphones models will adhere to a similar ideal. Otherwise they will be just overpriced copies.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

They seem to be selling them through their eBay store for $499 with free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HeadRoom-Ultra-Desktop-DAC-UDAC-000-001-2600-/200967771864?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eca9cd6d8 As long as you don't mind the built-in USB implementation to be limited to 16/44.1 or 48kHz

Happy Birthday!

^This x4! I hit that hard this morning.

Happy Birthday to you both!

Sorry to hear Haj, but glad your daughter found fun where it was to be found anyway. I'm reminded of one Christmas when the toy my nieces & nephew played with the most was the large cardboard box leftover from the new refrigerator my brother had just purchased. That box was a fort, a spaceship, a playhouse, a school, ... the list goes on and on. They drew on it with crayons & used their imaginations for months, until it finally collapsed from one too many kids sitting on top. Long after their actual toys were all but forgotten. Lesson learned...

Dave - are you in CT now?

Jan Meier might have an "in" on the German side. He's usually pretty responsive to emails.
