Canon goes mirrorles in June (no m43 partner I guess)

as elsewhere Canon m43 unlikely, given their PowerShot G1 X sensor in a mirrorless makes more sense

as they could readily be adapt to EF/EF-S lenses already in existence or other 35mm lenses by other mfrs.

it would simply be a 1.8543x crop system with 'better tele reach'

hopefully they will INCLUDE the PowerShot G/60D/600D VASS (Vari-Angle Swivel Screen) as well as the EOS-1 Dual Controls that are classic to the XXD/XD EOS dSLRs.

meanwhile, I'd like to see a PowerShot G1 X 24-96mm FOV variant instead of a 28-112mm FOV one now.

if Canon decides to ever shift their tiny digicam sensors up a size, to say 4/3", they could do that for their S100 series instead, and let it 'grow' a bit in size, albeit, just a little bit, as a 4/3" sensor isn't that great of a size jump from most digicam sensors, and leave the smaller sensors exclusive to SX 35x 'superzooms' (24-840mm FOV).

The last digicam sensor from Canon was their 2/3" sensor of the Pro1, which i had hoped would be APS-C sized for some future update, but that never materialized till their PowerShot G1X showed up with a smaller 1.5" sensor instead even though it is significantly larger than their old 2/3" Pro1 sensor.
