Canon's mirrorless system camera: first picture!

Go to last post
Hope it's not the final model for it doesn't look very appealing to me :-(
The lens may insinuate a APS-C sensor size
Just a few more days before the announcement
 
if it is a Canon APC-C size, it will be 35mm equiv. which is perfect for a starter.

I don't care that much for built-in EVF, but external control is somehow have to be enough for normal use (Aperture, EV + -, ISO)

make this a $600-$700 kits and I'm definitely sold for this.
 
Looks pretty nice to me. Very curious about the back. Is there perhaps an articulated screen there?

Also a bit Nex'ish looking... And I mean that in a good way, as I own a Nex F3 and think its a damn good camera for the money. Great to have Canon in the mirrorless APS-C game. We should see some great cameras and lenses over the next few years for these competing systems.
 
There was talk earler that the new Canon Mirrorless would accept EF lenses but probably not EF-S. This lens is a new EF-M.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I agree sapperlot: It looks good!

.. it lacks in a picture from the back, would like to know if it has a tilting screen or/and EVF assembly - positive is the hotshoe - any leaks about low light ability and the ISO range?

if it was a Nikon, nikonrumors would have had the exact info months in advance - they are very accurate. Canon rumors is worthless. Looks like maybe a build-in mini flash like on other mirrorless on the right.

  • No viewfinder
  • No built-in flash
  • very few external control (at least from this view)
But it is quite compact, lets see the full specs but I hope this is not their best :S

Looks like it has AF Assist light (something there on the top right)

Depending on sensor and price I'd buy it.

Looks as though Canon have got the design spot on- it looks small and pocketable just what buyers want!

Now the details ,

Indeed, bit painful for canonrumors that the original leak seems to have come from canonwatch.

Nahhhh...thats the new Canon proximity sensor which replaces the old Direct Print button. Now you just have to wave your hand or finger over it and it sends the file to your printer. :)

Zooms? pfffft!
 
I would not rule out that it has a built in pop up flash. The lever on the front right and the spacing above on top of the camera could be an indication for an internal flash.

I doubt that Canon would produce this camera without an internal flash. The potential customer base is used to it so this might be very important for their buying decision.

Taste is subjective so no need to fight over it. But to me this design looks just as dull as the IXUS cameras.

If it ends up looking something like this they got my attention!

Would Canon design strap mounts that stick out like the pins on Frankenstein’s neck?

Wouldn't they catch on things if no strap is used?

EF-S is exactly the same mount as EF. the only difference is that the rear element of some lenses protrudes back beyond the mount. A full frame mirror would hit a rear element like this, but a smaller aps-c mirror doesn't so the lenses are designed to take advantage of this. In a mirrorless camera with an adapter there obviously isn't going to be a mirror to hit the rear element. So EF-S will definitely be compatible if EF is. No question.

The only reason the ef-s white lens mount indicator is in a different position is to make it less likely that someone will put an ef-s lens on a full frame camera and break it.
