This article does show the sad state of gear availability in the country.

EOS M10: Dropping off the scene locally, but maybe places like Orms still have some.
Fujifilm X-A3: Not really a thing locally (at least not yet).
Olympus E-M10: Cameraland has always stocked these, but not many others.
Panasonic: Good luck.
Sony: Not in the country.

This is probably why the Fujifilm X-T10 has been popular locally.

I See Cameraland stocks them as well http://www.cameraland.co.za/photo/cameras/mirrorless-cameras

Dont get me started on Sony and S.A availablity
Although thankfully gumtree occasionally has some bits and bobs.

One of those on the list, the EOS M10, is on special at Makro. The camera plus 15-45mm lens is R6k.

Not too bad. Should have a look.

TA.

It's a pity the NX1 was so short lived. It's a great camera with very good specs and features, it takes awesome videos and photos. I hope I'll get a few more years of service out of mine...

I remember when the EOS-M was selling at Makro for R2k... wish I'd bought another one then.

I'm actually considering getting the EOS-M mount adapter so I can rent some Canon glass and experiment...it's a tad expensive though

Probably a couple of years ago now?

I have the 22mm f/2 (if that's what you mean?). Would love some zoom though...

Yeah, that's the one.

I shot some good video with the 16-35 f/2.8 on it the other day when I set it up as a second camera.
