New Products ( 4 )
TOKYO —
Canon’s much-rumored mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera competitor, the EOS M, is finally a reality.
The EOS M is Canon’s response to the growing market of compact, yet full-featured mirrorless cameras which includes Nikon’s J1 and V1, Sony’s NEX range, Samsung’s NX series, and Olympus and Panasonic’s Micro Four Thirds system cameras.
It features an 18.0 MP APS-C CMOS (APS-C) Sensor, Full HD movie capture with Focus Tracking, manual exposure control, a 3.0” touchscreen LCD, touch autofocus and multi-touch operation, plus is compatible with existing Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
The EOS M Digital Camera will hit stores in Japan and cost about 79,000 yen. It will go on sale in the U.S. in October priced from $799.99 with the new EF-M 22mm f/2 STM kit lens.

As the last major Japanese manufacturer to finally adopt mirrorless, they are up against some pretty tough competition from Pentax, Panasonic and Sony.
Let's hope Canon's attempt is better than Nikon's half-hearted effort.

I am underwhelmed. This is the mirrorless camera they should have brought out three or four years ago. Wonder what the aspect ratio is. Is this micro four-thirds, or smaller or bigger?
I'll be impressed when someone brings out a professional full frame mirrorless camera.
