I am surprised to see how tight the lips around the Canon mirrorless are. According to CR there is a Canon event this Monday (July 23th). But there was no real leak until now…just bits of info. All I heard via my sources is that Canon will use an APS-C sensor and not the G1X Four Thirds sized sensor. And here is a sum of the specs leaked by CR and CW:
– One camera has an 18 Megapixel sensor
– AN EF mount adapter (the mirrorless camera uses a new kinf of mount)
– Two lenses (one zoom for sure)
And that’s it! If you may found some leak let me know! Because right now everything looks to quiet! 🙂

Hurricane come quietly and silently , lol
at least a mirrorless camera from canon with some DOF capabilities.. i can´t stand that tiny sensor crap called m43.
Come here and I’ll cure your problem permanently and for free.
Four Third’s DOF is only ~2/3 stop bigger than Canon’s APS-C whose difference to 35mm is half stop bigger than that.
But as 35mm film was small format you should be using medium format camera (not offered by Canon) to get as tiny DOF as your intelligence.
So that would mean taking sensor from “parent” system and using new probably smaller diameter mount with reduced flange back distance.
Now question is which way they’re going to turn:
Sony NEX way of having troubles deciding what to do with it because of too much interests elsewhere (Canon sure has lots of those) or m4/3’s way of it becoming replacing system.
Wow – they’ve taken this long to put their existing sensor in a different lens mount and make two lenses? Sounds like their engineers have phoned tihs one in.
What’s the betting the two lenses are a slow kit zoom and the existing 40mm pancake in the new mount?
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this will be a technical marvel with on-chip PDAF, class-leading EVF, IBIS, a fast f/2.8 zoom and a f/1.4 pancake. But I’m putting my money on this being an embarassment. At least Nikon tried to do something different with their CSC.
Excuse me, but do u mean G1X instead of GX1 which is from Pana?
Canon as the former innivation leader has a big problem for the last years: Too late !
Whatever they bring, it will not be the only thing everybody is waiting for:A small and light full frame mirorless.
If its not FF, I don’t want it.
