A gill remnant. An absorbed twin. "Mrs. Canon, though we recognize that you wish to bond with your newborn, we strongly recommend you allow us to remove that."

"And its sunken chevron-shaped shutter button enclosure?"

"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about that."

"But doctor...why? How did this happen?"

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Canon--your child has been in utero for four years. It has become...squished"

I saw the little EVIL "mirrorless" Nikon in a blisterpack at a "Dollar" store. Perhaps Canon is picking this market to try to get on the same wire rack.

judging by the size of the hotshoe it appears to be a very small camera, perhaps even s90 size (width and height, probably not depth). i'm curious to see how big/small the lenses will be.

i'm noticing it has a dial around the shutter button, and a dial (ring) on the back like on the S models. so manual handling might not be that bad, though it's not as nice as having the ISO and exp comp dials on the G series.

it's certainly not a looker, though, lol.

How many ways can a lens be attached to a box? It's not like 1965 Raquel Welch but 1965 Sally Field was not exactly ugly...doesn't look like it will have an APS-C sensor, so that would eliminate 'That Girl' from my interest in any event.

FWIW, Field was hotter than Welch, all the way. And of course I am just trolling, I am mildly drunk and don't give a rat's arse. Can't you tell by my comma-splicing?

Welch would have been far too high maintenance, I'm with you there. And who can argue with Forrest Gump's mom, not to mention a flying nun?

But we venture off-topic. :) Nice to see that Canon thinks mirrorless is a viable market, which everyone else has known for 3+ years.

pluses
- 35mm-e f/2 pancake at intro.
- aps-c sensor.
- clean, modern design. vaguely contax t-series with the beveled edge.
- mode dial coaxial with the shutter button.
- no port for a stinkin' accessory EVF.
- frankenstein neck bolts for strap lugs. awesome.
- cool name. admit it.

minuses
- 18-55mm kit lens is not collapsible. show a little more effort, canon.
- no port for a stinkin' accessory EVF, not that i care.

wait and see
- phase-detect autofocus on sensor.
- built-in image stabilization (not likely).
- higher end model with sony nex-7 style EVF position, or faux-prism.
- where have i seen that grip before?
- 'q' = quick menu?

07-20-2012, 22:39

Okay so it's pretty obvious their first entry to the market is a complete consumer device. HOWEVER, I kind of like it. It looks tiny, It looks very very simple, I love the top on/off dial and the diamond pattern 'focus ring'.

But eh....should bring a digital canonet to the market - nex-7 style but with canon lenses, UI, sensor, and design.

Either way, the ef-M lenses obviously don't have aperture rings, so as far as I'm concerned fujifilm has canon licked in the mirrorless department.

I would humbly suggest you try a Nikon 1 series out for a while. I am using the V1 and consider it an extremely capable camera.

Very interesting device...love the fact canon is not running away from aps-c or ff sensors like nikon v series but going directly towards them, this new camera puts some tension in own canon´s market since can outclass their middle to cheap dsrl´s.
It´s easy to make apsc cameras if you do´t have a wide range of dsrl´s to beat, like fuji, sony etc....

Let´see how comminted canon is in order to develop this mirroless market...let´s see how good are the M systems lenses.

It´s a fine beginning i love canon over nikon because they are always more flexible and bold in their decisions, despite being less "bright" than nikon...

Cheers!

one can reasonably assume that this thing has PDAF on the sensor. it's only a matter of waiting to see if it's fast, can track objects, and holds up in low light.

and then hope they keep on copying sony and put out an enthusiast model with an EVF in the corner.

Your 5 year old niece has a cell phone? :eek: I'm getting old...

I have a feeling Canon's going to price this thing above the current NEX 5N pricing given their past pricing on the G1X. It actually looks like it was modeled after the nex given with the back buttons (or lack of) and the similar looking zoom lens and pancake (just diff focal length after all the undeserved uproar the 16mm focal length received).

I don't mind the looks. The lack of controls is ok as long as the touch screen is implemented well. Same with the lack of an EVF. The larger sensor (vs Nikon 1) is good. I won't miss the flash if the high ISO is good. I probably will buy something like this until a 50mm X100 type camera comes out (that's not the Dp2m).... Price must be < $700

Darkhorse

07-21-2012, 12:58

Yeah I really don't mind the look of it either. I just got a Canon XA10 (for work) and there's a big touch-screen integration in that machine. It takes a little getting use to but I like using the camera more for video than I ever did with a DSLR.

Reasons this appeals to me: My Canon s90 is on its last legs, I loved that camera and the photos I took with it. Small and mighty, but also kind of slow and has a tiny sensor. I'm finding room for film in my life is getting to be difficult, and I'd like the ease of a compact digital kit. The 35mm equivalent lens appeals to me since I love the the Stylus Epic 35mm lens compact (hopefully it'll be as nice of a lens on the Canon but that also remains to be seen).

aizan

07-21-2012, 13:17

i think it's design compares favorably to other camera in its class: olympus e-pm1/pl3, panasonic gf5, sony nex-f3, nikon j1, and samsung nx1000.

it's a good example of the trend to add sharper, geometric lines and forms to the usual plastic blob.

In Finland 5 year old with a cellphone is not that uncommon, but I quess most kids get their own cellphones when they go to school (when they are about 7 years old). The world is changing.

I wonder when people start to understand that using a real viewfinder improves stability and makes framing easier on bright daylight... Or maybe the stabilizers and screens will just improve so much that it doesn't really matter.

I don't see any difference between this and the Olympus OM-D that everyone seems to get wet dreams over. Both are ugly. So what??

"Ugly" of course is in the eye of the beholder. I happen to like the OM-D's looks just fine. Still, compared to the OM-D, the new Canon offers the following "features":

NO built-in EVF (nor, it appears, any way to attach an external EVF).
Limited lens selection, thanks to Yet Another All-New Lens Mount.

In short, it gives me precisely no regrets at having just shelled out for an OM-D outfit.

That said, the only thing curious about the announcement that Canon was getting into the MILC (not EVIL, this camera has no EV) market was that it took so long, particularly given how Canon has typically been one of the more technologically-inclined camera manufacturers.

Not for me, I like the G12/G1X aesthetic, this is a bit too rounded and civilised for me. No EVF or even an option for an EVF rules it out. The Nikon V1 of course has a smaller sensor, but I think I'd opt for it just for the EVF.

I meant an EF mount since they gave in to the mirrorless trend and have the full frame lenses... something which has been stopping the other mirrorless players.

Sure, but if they go EF mount the camera's not going to be thin due to the large flange-to-sensor distance in the EF standard. So they'll end up with something that might as well have had a mirror box like the Pentax KO-1.

What Canon is saying here by introducing a 1.6 crop mirrorless is unambiguous: Panasonic and Olympus [2.0], Fuji and Samsung [1.5] all have found the optimal balance between sensor, lens, and camera size, and image quality. And for most people, that balance does not favor FF.

It's just a not-so-fast-follower product, a "me too" product to fill a gap in their line-up. Somebody who has alway bought "consumer" Canon gear won't have to switch brands to get a trendy mirrorless.

Better to have a slightly inferior product than nothing at all to defend the "consumer" market share, I suppose. I would expect much better from Canon in the future; I think the format/technology is evolving too fast for a "statement" product.

Athos6

07-23-2012, 15:30

The main problem I have with this and the Nikon 1 is that the functionality of the camera is aimed consumers wanting to upgrade from P&S cameras. Unfortunately, the new Sony large sensor P&S, and large sensor compacts in general, are a much better type upgrade for those people. Most consumers I know would want the zoom, yet that kills the form factor. So with what its likely to be the preferred option, its still not a pocket camera and barely a purse camera. Finally, the $800 price tag is too much for a T4i and its too much for the EOS-M. Personally, I would buy the new Sony over this as my walk around camera for that very reason. That's even after I swore to never buy a camera with less than a FF sensor again....

So this camera is not for me, I knew that the moment I saw that it came in a color other that black and silver. That is fine. Yet, in a market were there are so many better options would Canon release this camera? Say I was going to buy a mirrorless camera tomorrow. What would make me buy this over a Nex-5n, OM-D, GH2/G5/GF, or Pen cameras? Features? No, the EOS-M has nothing that these others don't. Len selection and quality? No. Sensor size? No. Speed? No. Price? No. Size? No. The whole thing is just Meh.... So what would I buy? The Nex 5n. The size is in the same league, the lens selection is in the same league, the feature set is better, the image quality is better and the sensor is a tiny bit bigger 1.5 crop vs 1.6 crop.

I really don't get why they didn't come to the market strong...

Update: the Camera hit Amazon Per-order #1 spot.... I guess people don't care that there are better options.

CK Dexter Haven

07-23-2012, 15:49

I don't, at all, think it's "ugly." It just isn't a very inspiring design. But, i thought the rumors suggested there were going to be two models. A high- and a low- end. This one must be the low.

• I like that they have a small 35mm-e at launch. But, i wonder how large the upcoming lenses will be. If the e-50mm is going to be long and unwieldy, i'll have no interest in the system.
• I don't like a non-articulating screen, especially without a viewfinder.
• It is quite small. Not much wider and higher than a Contax T3.
• But, still — it's not pocketable, except in a jacket. There's a certain minimum size a camera has to be — a pocket threshold. This still doesn't meet it, so the tiny-ish-ness might make it clumsy to operate.
• No controls for aperture/shutter speed. From a video i saw, it seems you need to access a menu to change these parameters, as if you're changing ISO. That is a major dealbreaker for me. Unless they have a screen that remains on while the camera's operating, that has a simple finger swipe gesture to change time and aperture, without pushing a button to access them.

i have an older t2i and the image quality from it is fantastic, and has been said to be even slightly better than the 7D, a higher line body. i don't think the t3i and t4i improved IQ that much (they added tilt screen (t3i) and better AF(t4i)) , but they didn't really need to. if canon puts some better controls on this M line it will be very very good.

For the record, that "wheel" around the shutter button is just a three-selection switch. It has Full Auto, Program (allowing P,S,A,M Modes to be selected via menu) and Video.

Ho hum...

For being the last camera-maker to enter the mirrorless market, they sure dropped the ball for us enthusiasts and pros looking for something small and light to travel with. About the only inspiring thing is the APS-C and 35mm f/2 lens. I'll stick with my 5D Classic and 40/2.8 STM combo for now, thanks.

I find it incredibly interesting that they didn't include a built-in flash. If this is marketed at point-and-shooters looking for an upgrade, they're missing a key component. My mom would run screaming from a camera that she had to actually put a shoe-mounted flash on. She can barely work her 6-year-old CoolPix. Let alone something like this with a lens and a flash and all that touch-screen crap. She'd be so buried in menus and settings that she'd never get out and the camera would just end up in the pool. Not to mention the size. You take a T4i with an 18-55 kit lens and you've got a fairly small package. Pop-up flash included. Take this EOS-M (stupid name) and add an 18-55 lens and a shoe-mount flash and you've got something easily larger and more cumbersome than any of the Rebel lineup.

Canon has clearly thrown together something as small as an S100 with a big, bright touch screen and they've given no real thought to who this thing is marketed to and real-world experience. In my opinion, it's a foolish entry into the Mirrorless world. It's essentially a Panasonic GF5 with a bigger sensor and no flash. It's CERTAINLY NOT comparable to the NEX lineup or the offerings from Fuji.

It's just a stupid, gimmicky, little toy that will create buzz for a bit and then be upgraded every year for the next 5 years until they come out with the next thing. I was really expecting a G1X with interchangeable lenses and a decent VF or at the very least, the option for one. Shame...

To be honest, I thought Contax was resurrected without my knowledge and made a new T point-and-shoot:D

Can you provide a link to that video? Overall, I have found this a poor offering from Canon and having to change shutter speed AND aperture opening as you've described is a complete non-starter.

I have had the same feeling. The lack of control for aperture / speed through a knob is a bit of a non starter.

The difference with the Coolpix is that, IF the EOS-M has the same IQ as the Rebel T4i/650D, then it will make the flash requirement not so much. Maybe your mom should just have to get used to not have a flash and still be able to take picture in low light :-)

BTW I tend to be more interested in the small 90EX flash they will release with it. If it does work as a master controller on my 5DMkII for the 550EX, I'll buy it.

My mom using a camera in low light without a flash? LOL! I don't know if she'd be able to see what was in focus, let alone where the shutter button was. HAHAHA!

I do like the looks of that little flash. I was thinking it might be fun to have for my 5D/40 combo or my GRDIII. :D

I think this camera aims for those dslr-users looking for a nice 2nd camera. For that it's great.

I don't consider any mirrorless camera without a viewfinder "serious"

The ones that Daguerre used weren't serious enough?

Mr Rockwell is always funny to read even if I don't agree with all of his opinions. I guess: In his eyes, because it is a CANON, it MUST BE the FIRST SERIOUS mirrorless one? :rolleyes:
