Canon USA won't release the already-launched UWA zoom with IS for the EOS M, but they'll give us this??? :eek:
Compare market sizes. :-\

Ok.

(Casual snap shooters who upload to FB) = huge
(EOS M users) = small
(Casual snap shooters who upload to FB) – (fraction thereof with a smartphone and no interest in a P&S) = tiny

;)

Somewhere out there Mark Zuckerberg's smile just got bigger. Damn shame Canon has to jump on HIS bandwagon to sell more products to the kiddies out there whose shallow and selfless lives have to be revealed in utter detail on the internet. I wonder how much crime can be directly related to social media sharing and how young will kids get, posting pictures and thoughts without parental guidance? Hey! Maybe they are working on the Anthony Weiner edition as we speak! :eek:

How well has the Powershot N (non Facebook) been selling? I thought that this model might have a chance just because it's different, maybe some younger kids who like photography might pick it up. But to be honest, the kids love their phones too much, this probably won't have a chance.

I don't understand why Canon doesn't develop a top quality camera module which they can sell to phone manufacturers. Imagine a iPhone 6 or Samsung S5 with a 15MP Digic6 Canon top quality camera module. Now that might get me to buy a specific phone...
