EOS-M? 😛
“Make your subject stand out against smooth blurry background”!
Instant classic.
The ad says it all. For Canon this is a “lifestyle” camera. For the rest of us, it could be a great serious compact for travel and street, a worthy GF1 successor but the slow AF seems to be a big, big problem…
Let’s see if they can improve the AF before the production units hit the shelves. And, hopefully they show a roadmap of lenses at photokina…
“Make your subject stand out against smooth blurry background”
I believe that is a Canon-only feature. Works with the red model only though. lol
And yes, a roadmap for lenses would be nice. Fuji showed one when they launched the X-system which made it quite clear that they were dedicated to their new system and believed in it. Hope that Canon will do the same.
Long-sighted as I’ve grown, my arms are too short for me to use it without my specs. I would prefer a real camera, i.e. with some kind of viewfinder.
It seems to be a bad, very expansive G1x. but you can put your big eos lenses on it. but why??????
Admin, you should change the headline so it says EOS-M, not E-M 5.
Looks like a girly cam to me, that seems to be the target.
Is there any information on the sensor manufacturer? Does Canon put their own APS-C sensor in it or do they buy a Sony sensor? I just ask, because there is far no Canon APS-C sensor which can compete in any of the DxO benchmarks: http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Ratings/(type)/usecase_sports
Its the 650D sensor. Why on earth would Canon put inside their EOS cameras a Sony sensor???
Because they are obviously better?
But you are right, they can also continue making second-class sensors and put them in their bodies.
Is it only for me auto focus looks very slow?..
It’s interesting only if more compact prime lenses are on the way. Using those bulky EF lenses on such small camera is silly.
Seems like a great camera for a lot of people, but not me. Great for the many people I see lugging around DSLRs and using them as point-and-shoots, when something like this new camera from Canon is more what they need.
I think it is worth noticing that the entire commercial shows the camera with the pancake lens.
The audience clearly intended for the camera is not one who would be happy with the size of the zoom … and yet not a clientele who would be happy with a 35mm lens only
Clearly the APS mirorless camera makes more sense with single focal lenghts … but at the same time entry level users , for which the camera is intended , wants zooms… Hmmmmmmm

Recently bought a Nikon D3200 which is so small already and : Yes-Canon cannot compete against those Sony Sensors anymore.
Amazing what the little D3200 with the Nex 7 Sensor produces, i sold all my Canon stuff.
The M design makes me feel that this camera was not really loved by nobody in the Canon R&D dpt., the lenses too big, no future plan…
Not a single meaningfull innovation!
Still no full frame mirrorless, the only niche in this segnent, that has not been filled yet.
