If the SL1 / 100D stalls development of the EOS M, I guess it will qualify as a mirrorless killer. I hope not, because choice is good. I wonder if next year's T6i / 750D will be the same size of...

An August Reuters article states "Olympus Corp said on Thursday that its sales of its signature mirrorless model, the PEN, had fallen 12 percent in the first quarter, below its expectations."

And in the US, some people never go anywhere without bringing a handgun along.

As a Reuters article about Olympus mirrorless put it: "the format has so far failed to connect with consumers outside of Japan". "Olympus admits that its overseas marketing has been lacking so...

Canon has the "mirrorless technology", so they aren't really that far behind. They have the (70 D) Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which they will continue to improve. Canon makes things like an US$8,000...

Cool! I've never seen a dog on double leashes. Wolf-dogs must not be very obedient.

Canon hasn't announced that the EOS M is being discontinued, and it is still listed on the Canon USA web site. In June, Canon Canada announced a new 11-22mm lens for the EOS M. If the EOS M was...

As long as people continue to buy GXX cameras, Canon will continue to make them. Minor updates mean continued sales, with minimal R&D expenses.

There may be additional reasons, but it has to be tall to fit in the optical viewfinder.

The Nikon Coolpix A is a compact camera with an APS-C sensor. To keep the camera compact, using that sensor size, they had to use a fixed 18.5mm (28mm equivalent) lens. No zoom.

The body of the Canon G1 X is 7% wider and 21% taller than the Canon EOS M. If Canon ever creates a G2 X, it should have a smaller body.

(USA) How can M4/3 compete, when it has little-to-no advertising, has little brand awareness, and can't get product onto store shelves? It can't.

I appreciate your frustration. Lens Errors shouldn't happen. (I guess they don't make them like they used to. My ten year old G5 still works.)

My theory: If you want a large-sensor small-body camera, Canon wants you to buy an EOS M. I doubt that there will ever be a G2X, but only Canon knows.

"TOKYO: Panasonic said Friday it was selling a majority stake in its health unit to US buyout firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) for US$1.67 billion as the struggling electronics giant overhauls...

From a 2012 Wall Street Journal article about mirrorless: "The new cameras especially are a hit among Japanese women. Budding female photo enthusiasts in the country are known as Camera Girls, and...

DPR should give this camera a Gold, just to torture fans of Sony RX100 II. :-)

Canon's GXX line vastly outsold their G1 X. At this point, I don't think we will see a G2 X, because Canon wants to promote the EOS M as their large-sensor small-camera.

The marketplace decided which of the two cameras would continue to be developed. The GXX series vastly outsold the G1 X, and the G1 X was a sales flop.

High-end 1/1.7" sensor cameras may seem like a dated concept, but as long as people keep buying them, Canon and Nikon will keep making them.
