Why do you expect Canon to do FF Mirrorless with an EF adapter ?

If EF is their mainstream format why not put an EF mount on the FF Mirrorless?

That is a distinct possibility too, if they decide to go for a 'bulky' format with the same flange distance.

I personally do prefer the bulkier, hand-filling DSLR. But frankly, If I get the bulk, I'd rather it be a DSLR.

My personal 'dream device' would be a DSLR like the current 7D Mk2, but with a hybrid viewfinder that is optical while mirror is down, and becomes a full fledged EVF when live view is engaged. Oh, and an articulated screen like on the 80D.

I like the idea of a hybrid viewfinder.  Has any manufacturer tried to implement such a thing?
