*UPDATED* Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Hope it won't be too bulky otherwise it will lose its size advantage.

+1

While just an artist's impression it does look very big.

I may be interested in the M5 but only if it is of similar size to something like the Sony RX100 Mark IV.

I want the truly portable camera to fit in my pocket, that does not look like it will fit in my pocket.

Buy different pants then . It looks still very portable. Let's see how it will work out.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Personally, I think this sketch looks ugly and certainly not as stylish as the Fuji cameras.

If they put DPAF and on-chip a/d processor, it'll be a winner.
With a built-in evf, even I might buy one!

Looks awful! Hope these sketches are not even close to the final form factor.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

wow, i love it. feels like canon's own version of OMD but with APSC.

i can feel my XT2 money being sucked out of my pocket! let's hope DR is improved upon M3.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

its certainly is a fake considering there is a hot shoe cover. Canon has a fail-safe switch in hotshoe which disables the built-in flash from firing. That failsafe has been the reason why I have to modify my Graslon diffuser before the built in flash worked with diffuser installed.

Edit: if the camera does look like that then its a massive ergonomic improvement over older M cameras.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

The design is either the 6DII or maybe an SL1? Hopefully Canon will now introduce a true mirrorless camera with EF or EF-S lenses.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Yeah, looks like a filter rather than an actual drawing, so either legit or photo shopped image

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Looks a7ish with rounded edges.

More like an SL1, I think. Particularly in the grip. Which is what I was hoping for.

+1 (Wasn't an SL1 replacement mooted in the forums around Feb/March 2016?)

... Found it/Merger of M and SL1...

Like the Pentax K-01? I hope not!

This image clearly has an EF-M lens attached.

These sketches of a Canon camera have appeared on <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=30681.msg621061;topicseen#new">our forum</a> and in our inbox. We have been unable to confirm their authenticity at the time of publishing, but we will update the post once we hear if these are legit or not.</p>
<p>We have been told that the EOS M5 would have ergonomic updates, such as a larger grip as well as an EVF.</p>

FF, global silent shutter, EF compatible with on chip A/D conversion?

Sign me up.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

It would be the first time Canon have used traditional strap lugs since EOS was introduced. Can't see it really, unless it's part of the "retro" design, harking back to the AE-1, but Canon wouldn't do that - would they ?

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

this shape, form and size is exactly what I do NOT want for as a mirrorless APS-C camera. Way too big to carry it along. I want a form factor pretty much like like Sony A6300.

And all those freaking retro dials on top ... dedicated shutter time dial, dedicated EV +/- dial, dedicated mono functional cr*p ... and NO front wheel for index-finger! Plus a big hump on top although there is no prism and no need for that camel hump up there ... it really hate that retro "mini-DSLR" styling. As fugly and bulky as G5X or Fuji or Oly stuff.

In one word: it sucks. Unfortunately that is exactly what I imagine stupid Canon may bring next.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

I love what I'm seeing. Size doesn't matter; just make sure it's light-weight.

An SL2 that is mirrorless. Maybe it'll get the new OVF-EVF thingy.

Hope it's an articulate screen.

Most importantly, it better offer DPAF and touchscreen.

 

[AvTvM]

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Size does matter for me.

Apart from all the other advantages of mirrorless cameras, compact size is paramount to me. Anything up to EOS M3 / Sony A6300 is acceptable to me in terms of size ... for a crop-sensor APS-C camera. If the body is any bigger, it's gotta have an FF sensor inside. SL-1 size and form factor would not do for me. I prefer it to be "range-finder-shaped" as possible, not like a small mirrorslapper without a mirror.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

If this is the M5, I'll wait for the SL2 (I already own EF and EF-S lenses)—or buy an α6xxx and a Zeiss 12mm f/2.8 Touit.

That's why my travel camera is Fujifilm. I hope the new M body has similar (if not better) features like competition (Fuji X-T1/2, X-T10, a6300/6000, OM-D-1/5). Otherwise they will never capture many users.

AKA: What most of the market is asking for.

I'd rather have the rangefinder style too, but apparently the humpy bodies sell pretty well. Fuji seems to have had great success with the X-T1 and X-T10, where rumors currently point to the X-E2 not getting a replacement.

Also note that Canon likes to put the front wheel underneath the shutter button on EOS-M, I think it's just a little hard to see in the drawing.

hmmm ... loooking again, there seems to be a knurled ring-wheel around the shutter button.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

If it were the size of an SL1 (100D) Id be happy
If they went that size they may as well make it and EF mount and abandon the current mount.

correct.

Clunky body negates all advantages of short flange distance.

Just like the M3 then?
