EOS M: M for Mirrorless


Even for modern design, it looks not so pretty to me. And might as well not have that pathetic looking "grip". If this is real, I am not impressed with the camera's aesthetics at all. Maybe the specs will be better than it's looks.
 

Any guesses towards the introductory price?
 

Need more info on specs to see if it's going to be a tempting proposition. But agree the looks cld b better.
 

If its apsc sensor, I wld imagine it shld cost at least S$900 or more than the G1X.
 

that is one ugly looking camera.. please canon you can do better than that., you already made us wait this long..then make it worth our while..please

Canon will reply you: "get the 5D Mark III"! :p
 

Maybe no adapter is needed! Since the mount is called EF-M. Like EF-S... Who knows, EF may just fit directly :)

If this photo is real then no, EF or EF-S lenses won't fit.
Someone did a measure meant on the pin layout..it's not the same location as EF lenses so it won't fit without an adaptor.
There are actually more photos of this and the sensor etc…it's measured as an APS-C sensor…that is IF the photos are real :)
 

Well... look is subjective. I find it okay looking, although I would have preferred the retro AE-1 look, but this is fine too. Anyway, I am more interested in its overall performance - such as AF speed, high ISO noise performance, IQ, buffer size, battery life, etc etc... and what lens it can mount what accessories are available, any EVF options, etc.
 

Meh CR has new sets of photos, the back is exactly the same as Powershots and IXUS!

I guess Canon just wanted to announce "yay I have mirrorless too!" professionals are never the target audience of the EOS-M.

I could accept it if they reuse G12/ G1X body as the baseline framework for Canon's mirrorless system, but certainly not as PnS as this!
 

canon may borrow plan from sony on the nex cam path. If you look in the Nex cam and lens and accessory available. Wish canon can learn some lesson from sony nex cam path.
launch first, gather feedback and launch another a bit better version base on customer feedback.
as their slogan,delight U always. important sell enough to coup up the RD investment first.
and launch another lens adaptor to adaptor EF and EF-S lens.
If user need it he or she may consider it. Canon may just let user has option.
It up to the user decided.want then buy it,Not happy can consider other range offer from canon.Power shot, ixus,EOS DSLR.User still can use thier handphone Iphone, HTC,Nokia lumine, samsung to capture photo. Choice is Ur. or other brand.

Its counter productive to mount a big lens in a tiny body. Why not just buy 5DM3,,,,

Agree.. Canon just only copy the necessary features such HDR or Handheld Twilite as implemented in latest EOS 650D which all of them are found as a standard on all Sony Alpha D-SLR/SLT.
Again on this new mirrorless system, Canon is taking any common features from Micro FT or Sony NEX to be embedded too... :)

18-55mm focal length confirms 1.6x APS-C sensor size

With no dials for the usual modes, I guess it will be touchscreen for everything from focus to mode selection?
 

If the Eos m is confirm launch soon with some lens for m mount. That the reason some delay on the ef 24-70L mkii lens. The production line need to Cheng the m 22mm & m 18-55mm first with some qty for launch.
 

Looks like there's 1 dial~
Top no dial~
 

no built in flash?
 

The compact flash doesnt look like it can be tilted
