UPDATE
I'm starting to think we won't be seeing the Canon EOS M2 released in the United States or Europe. No retailer has contacted us about preorders, there is no press release from Canon USA or Canon UK, and my contact at Canon Canada didn't even know the camera was coming.

If you recall, the Canon EF-M 11-22 IS STM lens is not officially available in the United States, though you can buy it in Canada.

More to come…

The Canon EOS M2
Canon China and Canon Japan have outed the new Canon EOS M2. A slightly smaller replacement for the Canon EOS M.

The biggest new features appear to be the Wifi capabilities, Servo mode when shooting video and a faster autofocus system with the new “Hybrid CMOS AF II”.

The camera is set for a mid December release in Japan, There has been no official word from Canon USA as of yet.
