Maybe this is HarryFilm's mythical Canon MFD with all-new lens mount.

Why do people who think they know better insist that many Canon purchasers are just "blind ...followers"?
YOU took the bait? Color me surprised.

The EF line is too big and valuable to abandon and start new.

I simply don't believe that Canon would develop a new autofocus camera and make it incompatible with FD lenses. The FD line is too big and valuable to abandon and start new.

Automatic focus.
1-2 centimeters shorter.
One of those is significantly impactful for a vast majority of shooting situations. The other is not. Which do you think is which?

I don't think so. I think they'll make an overpriced mediocre thing, to check the checkbox beside the full frame MILC.Refurb7 said:If Canon decides to do FF mirrorless, they will very likely make a better camera than Sony.

Interesting idea, didn’t think of that possibility to keep the EF-mount but with different flange distance. That would make a lot of sense. You can use your old Canon glass without adapter or with one to keep the field of view as used to. And many new lenses for the new shorter flange distance could also be sold.
Doing it that way could please almost anybody I think.

So how about a 5DM to get the ball rolling? Compatibility, comfortable form factor and familiar ergonomics, with a high frequency EVF (or whatever it'll take to make it easier on the eye), with the added benefits of mirrorless. I could pick up and start using one of those today.

This is the drum I've been beating for months. Using EF glass on my M5 with the adapter is far from the feeling of nice balance with the 5D IV.
If I had a say, I would strongly suggest to Canon they skip the short flange body design and go directly to a planform of the 6D or 5D series. Add a quality 4K package and they would have a winner.
Throw in a flippy screen and we're done!

I wasn't aware that sales figures were available yet...could you please link to the info?
