Ideas For Canon: The Original EOS M Reminds Me Of A Leica - Make One Similar
2

Got to play with a Leica Q the other day and I have to say the original EOS M reminds me very much of a Leica. The Leica Q as we all know is a very expensive camera and built like a brick house. But its the way the Leica Q performs - its stripped down and lean - no nonsense. Great EVF, great screen and its full frame. but big $$$.

The original M is like that. Its built like the proverbial brick house as well and its lean. No nonsense and its small as well. The original M though is smaller than a Leica.

Canon could easily do this again. Build a premium rangefinder style body - all metal. Put the guts of the M50 in it with an EVF on the far left, no grip.

Dont clone the Leica directly, use Canon's design language, make a sleek Canon rangefinder. The M100 is kind of like that but take it to the next level.

I would bet it would sell extremely well.
