Title basically says it all, I have a bunch of EOS lenses already (28-70, 70-200, 16-35, 100mm, etc.) so I want to stick to Canon. I was looking at the EOS-M because it has the same sensor as the t4i and is only like $300, but wanted to ask NS. I have a stabilizer so I don't think the weird weight displacement with lenses is going to affect me much. How is the AF speed on it? Is it good for sports shots? I'm going to be using whatever camera I get mainly for video.

Why would you switch from the t4i to The EOS-M...? Is there something I'm not getting or seeing here?

If you are going to use it on video, please don´t go with eos M. Go with something like the sony a6000! This is a lot better for video than eos M. Also, you can adapt your canon lenses and use them on this camera. Metabones makes adapters called speedboosters, wich will make your lenses faster by letting more light into the sensor. There are also rumours about the a7000, wich will be released early ´15, that it will feature 4k etc.

Brilliant, instead of making him spend 300-400 bucks make him spend 500 bucks on a camera and another 600 for a fancy adapter.

Go away Sony marketing shill.
