The third generation of Canon's mirrorless camera will be heading to a lot more countries this time around, but once again appears to be skipping the US.

Canon gets a grip

Previous models had no grip to speak of and the M3's is pretty substantial.

No zoom switch

Many competitors have introduced zoom switches on their interchangeable-lens cameras to go with power zoom lenses. Canon has yet to introduce a power zoom STM lens, so no zoom switch required.

Exposure compensation

Like its enthusiast-compact cameras, the M3 has an exposure compensation dial on top.

Substantial thumb grip

To go with the big grip up front, the M3 has a nice thumb grip in the back.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
