Hi all,

A couple of months ago I asked what mount you wanted for Canon's upcoming professional full frame mirrorless camera. The majority voted for EF although it was close. What I want now want to know is what you now think it will be, not what you want it to be.

So, what mount do you THINK it will be?

From a non-technical perspective, it has to be EF so that people can leverage a large collection of EF lenses that they already have.

With EF-M You can get an adapter and leave it there fixed forever. If it is EF only, only EF would be compatible and won't be portable FF bodies for that market segment.

Not really. How portable the body is does not matter much. What is important is how portable the body plus a lens is. Canon can design new lenses which sink deeper in the EF mount (no mirror). In fact, this is what they did with their crop dSLRs.
