Canon EOS M5 Coming Before Photokina [CR3]

[SpartanII]

They're not gonna put an EVF in this thing and make it bigger?

That's not what I personally want.

So, me and trillions of other people won't buy this camera.

Stupidur Canon.

u dont want a built in EVF? Go and f*cking buy M, M2, M10 or M3 and sh*t up.

I think he was joking.

Maybe AvTvM is a joke.

Wait, was that the semantically correct? Oh, well...its f*cking close enough.

 

[AvTvM]

stupid Canon and their stupid M's are a joke. A bad joke.

Yep, late to the party, only one line of MILCs, and now #3 in their market. Canon HQ is laughing at that joke all the way to the bank... Since they're doing so partly with your money that you spent on Canon mirrorless gear, that makes you part of the butt of that joke. Maybe that's what makes it a bad joke?

Canon succeeded in gaining entry MILC market by cut-throat pricing ;D

In Japan? They hit #3 for 2015, were the M10 and M3 'cut-throat priced' in Japan?

 

[Quackator]

And I bet they are still making money on this.

possible. And I still don't buy M2, M10, M3. 8)
And if M5 really comes in retro, Fuji/Oly, "Mini-DSLR", super-fugly G5X type styling and size (!), i may also pass up on that one.

Thom has them as #3 in global mirrorless last year, and #2 globally this year.


Maybe the biggest joke is the importance some place in mirrorless.

 

[freezehead]

wll, i guess the price will be premium as hell too, not less than 1200$ for the body. So, will wait a long time to upgrade from my eos-M toy

But this doesn't make the M a great camera. It isn't #2 or 3 because it is the 2nd or 3rd best MILC.

Canon know how to make and sell cameras to sheep. The M is a camera for sheep. There are lots of sheep.

Whereas for wolves, Canon make DSLRs.

Hopefully, the M5 might be good enough for shepards

I tend to agree on both points.

1) Yeah, great so the M line is the Toyota Camry of mirrorless, fine for the masses but underwhelming for an enthusiast.

2) The M5 does look like the one that will finally have some appeal to us forum members.

;D ;D ;D Thanks SpartanII, It was a jest to Neuro's comment I guess my aim was bad but f*cking close enough.

 

[AvTvM]

btw.: why would/should Canon announce their [hopefully!] first worthwhile mirrorless ILC body ever BEFORE rather than at photokina? It would not take away anything from 5D IV announcement [which was leaked some weeks ahead already]. They'd have 2 headline product announcements: 1 fairly boring re. latest iteration of their mid-level bread-and-butter FF mirrorslapper plus 1 reasonably exciting APS-C mirrorless cam ... ?

If you also consider that Canon makes Rebel/xxxD dSLRs for other sheep, and high-end dSLRs for wolves, your analogy is very apt. There are a billion sheep in the world, and there are a few hundred thousand wolves. There are far few shepards in the world, which is why Canon doesn't see much of a market there.

 

[crashpc]

All good points. The reason is obvious. When you hunger all protecting shepards, they die, wolves eat sheep and there is no low-end, moneymaking market left. You need to handle those few shepards too, and of course at seemingly high cost.

 

[lw]

And most of us in here are hungry like a wolf. We ain't sheep

But I guess I could settle for a Sheperds Crop Crook

 

[Loswr]

There will always be sheep. The trick is finding out what the sheep want to eat, then offering it to them. Canon has done that very well, and despite the doomsaying keyboard experts, they will likely continue to do so.

Come on Guys, it's Shepherd. How are the sheeps supposed to now how's in charge if its spelt rong ?

Wait, I thought we were talking about the guy who flew the Mercury mission and walked on the moon.
