A Full Frame mirrorless camera designed by David Riesenberg,
Well, I am sure Canon will release first “advanced” mirrorless system cameras in 2015. And Canon itself hinted the possibility to launch a completely new mirrorless mount system.
CanonWatch now reports that the launch of a 50 Megapixel Mirrorless Full frame camera is likely to happen in 2015.
I am yet not sure if that rumor is likely to become true or not. But we know Sony has a new A9 with high Megapixel sensor coming soon and I guess Canon knows that too…
From EOS-M to EOS-Madness? LOL 🙂

that’s not what CW said. there was two professional full frame cameras rumored, which was separate from the M/fulll frame MILC rumor.
OMG i almost s… my pants, for a second i thought it was a genuie picture of a new mirrorless canon…LOL
it would be a great design. If its was possible to make a mount for native dslr lenses on a mirrorless canon without an adapter – it would be more interesting tha a 50 mpix fullframe, i think.
yes i understand that the issue with the distance between the lense and the sensor demands longer distance than native ef m lenses. But honesly how many buyers will go for a new high level 50 mpix camera, the 1dX is still so good, i see no really need for a replacement….a mirrorless camera better than sony a 7 series and the functionality of the fuji with many direct dials for settings – thats the interesting road to go for canon
Gorgeous design! Finger crossed for something similar to this compatible with existing lenses! And with great af!
For people with nose: in digital mirrorless cameras viewfinder can actually be shifted to one side, for example left, or even be designed as a removable module for left or right side insertion. No need to smash your nose any more. The design we see here fails to notice that with electronics designs can display more flexibility, and be more imaginative. Riesenberg simply copied old style SLR to trigger nostalgia feelings: “it looks just like my old SLR”.
I agree, rangefinder designs are great for mirrorless cams, yet some producers prefer dslr style, like samsung. Sony and panasonic has some great rangefinder like models, and so has fuji.
Anyway this rendering is very nice. At least it’s not a bulky and ugly body like cheap dslr ones.
The modern SLR is a very good design with a large comfortable grip. This is more like the classic SLR with no decent grip. Sure, it looks a bit cleaner, but not near as functional. Take your pick.
I do like the design though, it is much nicer looking than the Sony A7 series.
I never considered my hands as being small, but cameras like the d610 (just to mention one big dslr) are really unconfortable for me to hold. Sony a6000, on the other hand, is about perfect in grip/size/weight.
Won’t be as good as the big companies who got a head start
John Jagnow, you are right, canon is kind a the last in the run with mirrorless, but for the right amount of money and spying , i meant evaluation, on the pros and cons from the competitors, maybe they can change it to the better…but frankly, if the next product from canon being as poor as the canon eos m1 and m2 – i ll sell all my canon gear and go sony 100%
“Well, I am sure Canon will release first “advanced” mirrorless system cameras in 2015…”
Really? Or are you just kidding us?
Canon is devoted to it’s traditional line of products and has shown no desire to change their product development strategy to include a “serious” mirrorless. If the rumor was about Sony or Fuji I’d be more inclined to believe it.
Why would they need a new mount? If they want to get ahead of Sony, using their current lenses is the answer. Sony is trying to minimize the footprint of the FE lenses but in doing so has generated an f/4 for most of their FE line. One reason to buy full frame is to minimize DOF- f/4 lenses effective eliminate that benefit from a FF señsor. A smaller body depth can bring their current lenses closer to the señsor once the mirror box is no longer necessary.
I think Sony is limited also by the fact that the full frame sensor only just fits into the E-mount diameter. It’s difficult to design a lens with large enough exit pupil for such mount, especially for fast and wide lenses. I see this as a serious shortcoming.
Sony should use A mount for their mirrorless system. Yes, it’s a bit bigger but easier to make fast lenses. So it relativized it because good lenses for e maount are also very big and heavy.
Hopefully not yet another proprietary lens system.
