by the way.. i hate that the sensor is not protected in all these mirrorless cameras.
yeah i know... there are layers above the actuall sensor.
anyway... i don´t know but it gives me a "bad feeling".
i can really feel how it attracts dust, brrrrrhhhh.
im able to clean a sensor.. but what will the average joe user do?
grab an old cleaning rag and smear all over the sensor?

My opinion is that this is a "good start" for their new system. This is for Best Buy and should beat up on the Nikon-1. I'll wait for the 3rd gen of the EOS-M. Not in a rush.

Well, I'm hearing an awful lot of bad-mouthing about a product that is not yet even available, from a bunch of folks who probably have no intention of purchasing it in the first place. I'd say that is a pretty good definition of NOISE. To which my response is: "Shhhh."
I'd say this looks to be a pretty nice litttle camera, with some pretty nice little lenses, and a pretty nice little flash.
For me, the flash is the most interesting piece of all. I'll be grabbing one of those as soon as they become available. Looks ready-made for 5Dii daytime fill-flash, eh?

As I've been predicting, this is the start of the merging of the top end of the PowerShot series and the Rebel series. It's the latest Rebel in a PowerShot body, basically.
This camera isn't for me, but I don't have any Rebels nor PowerShot cameras, and I don't have any interest in such. However, many moons ago when I bought the original Digital Rebel as an upgrade from an Olympus superzoom P&S (my first camera), the EOS-M would have been very tempting, indeed. You get the latest-and-greatest APS-C sensor in a minuscule body and an entry-level price, plus you can mount almost any lens ever made.
I'm curious, though: what's the Shorty McForty look like mounted to this thing with the adapter? I'm guessing it won't be anywhere near as much of a pancake at that point.
Then again, I don't think 40mm is an exciting focal length on APS-C. Personally, were I to buy this camera, I doubt I'd ever take off the 22mm pancake...but, once more, I've already got a 5DIII with the ShortyMcForty body cap, so why would I want an EOS-M?
Cheers,

I agree. It will be interesting to see how this goes. Especially since Canon said there will be a "pro version" whatever that means.
Also does anyone have any idea about the EF adapter? Is there a glass element in it? Or is it just a tube with some electrical contacts? At 200 it seems pricey for a tube but cheap for some glass.

I believe all the EOS flashes are compatible with the EOS-M, and vice-versa, per B&H website info.
Also, the adapter has no glass at all, just a spacer with contacts, but I dont know if it is passive or active (contains circuitry). Either way, I agree $200 seems high. $100 would seem to be a more appropriate price level, to me. $200 seems "gougey", like Canon is saying "you have no choice, so pay up!"

Excellent. Now that we can put the new toy&gadget news out of the way we (and hopefully Canon) can concentrate on the new affordable FF body which everybody is (actually) waiting for. Hey Canon, can we have a new cam for photography now please?

Yes.
Frankly, the G line is dead. The EOS-M is being introduced at the exact same price as the G1 X -- that alone should be all the confirmation you need of the demise of the G line.
And look for new Rebels to all be EOS-M as well.

...until the G2 X comes out next year, at any rate. The G1 X is outselling the Nikon 1 on Amazon. Believe it or not, there are people out there that don't want to muck about with changing lenses. Just no one on this forum...

There are like 20 PowerShots all within a few $$ of each other. How does the fact that two different types of cameras have a similar price mean one is going away?

I'm curious what Canon is planning to do with the G1 X sensor... what else is it used in? Also curious as to how quickly the AF works -- is it as fast as the phase-detect of a regular Rebel?
Agree that the M-mount will threaten the EF-S mount. This smaller mount will allow the lenses to get smaller/lighter.
