Count me as someone else going against the flow here. I also own the 5D2 and 5D3 and coincidentally, I too have sold my 7D (and am eagerly awaiting the 7D2!).
I'm an ultra runner (marathons, 50k's, and am working on my first 50 miler) and often bring along a camera during my training runs. I've used the Powershot S95 and G12 because of their smaller sizes, but have recently brought along a T4i for better image quality. As you can imagine, size matters when trail running for hours at a time, so if Canon releases a smaller DSLR with comparable image quality, I'd get it in an instant. Every little bit helps.
It's funny that people pooh-pooh cameras based on specs alone. The thinking is that if a camera appears compromised, then it is "pointless", as one person commented. One size does not fit all, both literally and figuratively...

Actually, I think this camera sounds great! 13.1 ounces is nothing!
If you do NOT own any of the 18 MP cameras previously, this will be on the short list.
It is basically a smaller 650D without flipscreen (which I hate anyway).
If they throw in a thumbwheel and some other ergonomic bonuses, maybe WiFi and GPS, this could still be a kickass camera. pair it with a small prime like the 40/2.8 and it will be the same weight as a G1X (and roughly the same size too!)
You guys should stop bashing it, this thing will SELL! (when price drops to 600$, so G1X and this cost the same)

There are a lot of rumored names for the new small EOS bodys.
A guy from Canon told me today, that the name "EOS B" is possible.
It sound realistic to me, because the small EOS bodys are a new product line. But we will see at the 22th.
But I want a camera between the 5D Mark III and 1D X, a new EF 80-400 IS L, a 12-24 2.8 L oder a 16-35 2.8 III, a 7D Mark II with CF card slot to replace the TC´s, a better build EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS and a lot more. And the EF 17-40 L from 2003 needs a replacement too.

Welcome to the future! I'm excited too, I love the way Canon put entirely new sensors into each and everyone of their bodies, thats why I own the 7D, 60D, Eos M and a couple of rebels. The results are different for each camera I use!

If I wanted a body this small I'd invest in a m4/3 mirrorless system instead. When I think of wanting something more compact, I think of both the body AND the lenses. A super small body will be really unbalanced when you add larger lenses to it, even EF-S. Pricing is kind of out there too. Meh.

For additional comparison purposes, here's the size of Canon's T1i (500D): 128.8 x 97.5 x 61.9mm
And the XT (350D): 126.5 x 94.2 x 64mm
All data are from the Canon website.

I think it makes more sense when you consider it agenst m43, you want a body with an SLR form factor and an EVF and your paying a significant amount more than this.
It also of course offers an option to existing EF/EF-S lens users looking for a smaller second camera with the same mount.
We don't of course know what kind of lens support Canon might offer in the future, maybe a powered zoom or a wider pancake?

If canon made a 30mm pancake, with the crop factor the 40mm is nice but not really that useful for me, then I might be interested whenever the price on this camera drops SIGNIFICANTLY.
But to me, this is further proof that someone in purchasing/manufacturing made a big goof a few years ago. When they were ordering the 18 mp sensors, someone put in one or two too many zeros. And BAM, they ended up with a 100 million of the things sitting in a warehouse somewhere. & ever since, they've been sitting around thinking "...NOW what kind of camera can we make to unload a few more of these damn things??"

My wife bought a T4i two weeks ago and is thrilled. A good part of that happiness is the touch screen which does a very nice job of creating a unified user interface for someone starting out. She commented that our 7D and 40D were intimidating in the past when she has tried to learn how to use them.
I see the rumored 100D being a nice addition to the entry market:
All of these cameras are answers to someone considering a micro4/3 camera but who likes the idea of getting into a lens-lineup that can grow with them in the future.

- T4i - biggest with a pivot screen that is handy for video.
- 100D - smaller and lighter but still with fast focusing for photos.
- M - really small at the loss of focus speed.

Just saw a post in CanonPriceWatch Facebook page where Best Buy accidentally uploaded links to so called rumored 18mp body that is supposed to be announced in a few days time. Don't know how accurate this is but CPW has a screenshot of the page and the name of the body is Canon "EOS-b"! 
Typo?

Yes one could invest in m4/3 mirrorless system but that'd mean buying new lenses too ... but with a smaller sized APS-C camera I can use my existing 40mm, 50mm & 85mm lenses ... add the new 24 or 28mm IS lenses to that and its a awesome combo in a small package, giving much better results than any m4/3 camera could. As a bonus one can add all of the existing EF-S & EF lenses without having to invest new system and lenses (not to mention getting used to the new system, whereas I am already familiar with the Canon cameras ... personally I see great potential for this product and if it can deliver what a 650D can, I'm buying it).Isurus said:
