A cheaper model direct successor of the current model and a more high end camera with built-in EVF. And a telezoom could be announced too.

I hope there is a model with a built in viewfinder and that Canon gets the price right for all models. Sony is beating everyone at the moment.
And the beating will rise to a whole new level when Sony release their FF NEX. 😀
The 22/2 lens is excellent. If they could make a good camera to put behind it… Please Canon: IBIS, a good AF, some physical controls, and a real grip!
WTF!!! Enough BS APS-C already – give us FF, or don’t even bother!!!
If they could make a wide collapsible zoom for this and a camera with good controls and tiltable screen, maybe I would think Canon again.
Do Canon really have the tech to offer a competitive mirror-less autofocus system?
I don’t think they do.
If they don’t, then these new cameras will be sub-par products that sell because of the brand name, not because of performance. That is not a good scenario for a business of any size.
Is Canon really capable of producing mirror-less system that could compete with the offering from Sony? I doubt that! I guess Sony is leading the way and it is already too late for the Canikon stable which is still busy releasing bulky DSLR’s. To be competitive in the mirrorless market, you have to bring products that would be better than the current NEX offering from Sony.
Canon will easily beat Sony at usability, which is key for those few of us who actually shoot. However, they must also give us good focus control, ie peaking or a proper viewfinder / lcd. The latter would be a first in the mirrorless world, the former may be unlikely, we’ll see.
Still have any expectation from Canon?
It takes Canon almost one year to improve the auto focus speed 🙂
