Mirrorless cameras have a much shorter flange distance than DSLRs, so Canon really only has two options:

  • Use the existing EF mount, and build the adapter into the body (like the Sigma sd Quattro or Pentax K-01 do). This has the advantage of providing an instant lens catalog and will please anyone who already owns Canon EF lenses, but has the disadvantage of making the overall kit a bit larger. It also won't attract non EF users who want a smaller and lighter kit.

Again, the flange distance has very little to do with size unless you have a 10-15mm thin lens.
