Re: depends on how they want to place the system

EF if Canon wants the new line to be seen as a serious, 'professional' camera by the faithful, EF-M (or even some new mount) if they are going to position it like the current M system, as a bottom-end, consumer-level line.

It's opposite as my last post said. EF-mount mirrorless with legacy EF lenses will be doomed in the performance, no way can compete to current ML leaders in AF-C tracking. Does DPAF in 5D IV, 1Dx II etc can compete their own PDAF via separate AF/AE sensor thru OVF in sport, wildlife and fast action photos? If Canon can achieve that, then a mirrorless EF-mount with DPAF makes sense. Double amount of pixels is a heavy burden impacting burst rate and buffer depth as well.

Here is M5 DPAF vs A6500 PDAF+CDAF (hybrid on-sensor AF).
