The story behind the development of the EOS Kiss M (M50) mirrorless camera

[heart+eyes]

Another in Canon's series "The Minds Behind the Magic"

- The grip on the M50 was designed to accommodate a smaller hand
- Controls concentrated on the right so camera can be used with one hand
- More than half the sales of the Kiss M (Japan version) are in white, not black

This was infinitely more interesting than I thought it'd be. Thanks for sharing!

I think the fairer sex created the demand for the white M50... . ITs very fashion safe I think! Loved the article.. great insight and I'm glad that Miserable M series camera is successful for them....

...Just need them to be faster ala X-t3. I luv how small the lenses an cameras are (I have an M5... black of course!) but the shutter lag, especially using a flash, the camera feels like a powershot, not an Eos!

Curious on seeing a similar article and the new Pirate camera EOS-R...

The M3, M10, M100, M5 and M6 have powershot firmware, the M1, M2 and M50 have EOS firmware. So yes, the M5 will feel like a powershot because it is a powershot in software.
