Any news about a Canon G2X ?
If canon uses the d70 sensor and a good evf, the M could gain some traction. Even if not still on par with other aps-c mirrorless systems (like nex, nx or x) canon has a big “installed” base and lots of fans.
The Canon 70D sensor isn’t even on par with current m4/3 sensors. Canon has to step up to make an impression. Especially after the damage the EOS M has done the first year. The EOS M brand is synonymous for the worst MILC on the market.
Not so much worse. Anyway the difference is not noticeable in normal conditions. Let’s face it: all current aps-c are on par, as to iq.
Canon, please give us a body like the Panasonic GX7 but with EOS-M APS-C mount with the tiltable EVF and a swing out LCD. Also a EF-M 55-250 and a 18-135 or 18-200 š
A 14-42 (21-63 equivalent) f/4.0 compact zoom for APSC and they will get my money. I wonder where is the difficulty in making such a lens!
Canon, I’m afraid you are far too late.
I wouldn’t say it’s late, considering that it’s canon. I mean…even the eos-m sold, and that was by far the worse aps-c mirrorless system. They just need to put together a decent (nothing more than this) body, and it will sell like hot cakes.
Hot cakes? I still haven’t see anybody using this camera.
Considering that it is Canon, it’s better to take iPhone. Much more glamorous brand. š
Too late? So far there is no super fast AF APS-C mirrorless system. Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm and Pentax are super slow. m43 and Nikon 1 are fast but they have smaller sensors. Canon can make it blazingly fast with the focus system from the 70D and they have the brand name to do it.
Samsung nx300 is actually quite fast in af, especially with 45mm and 18-55mm lenses. It has pdaf+cdaf on sensor.
m4/3 is fine by me. I’m not at the age when (sensor) size that matters š
Apart of that, who told you that new Canon will be super fast.

“Canon, Iām afraid you are far too late.”
It would be too late if Nikon had already entered the game. The game hasn’t even begun till Nikon and Canon both get into the APS-C mirrorless world with a REAL offering.
Please Canon, a real grip and more physical controls! The EOS-M feels like a bar of soap!
The 22/2 lens is pretty good, it just need a nice body to put behind it š
…and please get rid of the EF-M mount. Squeezing an extra $140 out of your customers for an EF-M to EF adapter is penny-wise and pound foolish.
A mirrorless Canon APS-C camera with an OLED EVF, an articulated LCD and a straight EF mount would *own* the Christmas season.
Long flange distance, OVF instead of EVF, bigger size, big and noisy and lenses? No thank you. The adapter is an option, it is not a necessity. Canon just needs more lenses.
Admin you should set up the following poll :
Do you think Canon at last will consider mirrorless camera system seriously ?
Yes
No
cheers !
“cheers” as third option? š
Yep !
cheers must be better than “do not know” !!
At some point they’ll have to. It is just a question of time. And they’re probably smart enough that they will do that before they start losing a lot of customers. All this time they waste pondering the issue is just a chance for everyone else to do something and gain some traction.
