hehehe, Canon pricing. otoh, if it really is an EOS M5 in a smaller package including a really good lens ... better and faster than EF-M kitzooms ... and it is MSRP ... streetprice in a few months will be rather different.

Seems your math skills are ok, it's your logical skills that are woefully lacking.
Come on Neuro, those options are in the same vein,
it is just you being mad that this would be a better option than your beloved M6 + EFM 11-22mm
BasXcanon said:Ok but can we drop the negativity in the comment section below??
The camera will have a better screen and navigation than you will ever find on a Sony/fuji.
If the camera has the rumored 15-43mm F2-4 and aspherical elements lens,
It be on par sharpness wise with the Canon efm 15-45mm kit.
There will finally be a faster APS-C wide angle option, so replaces your efs 10-18mm and efm 11-22 ,
will be as fast as the 24mm F2.8 on a rebel dslr. And compared to the EFM 22 will be stabilized. And the lens will be faster than any other kit lens that is provided by the other mfg, so you can forget about the latest small 18-55mm F4-5.6 kitlens as well. Even if you had considers the 17-40mm L for your crop, this can replace everything. Next to that, while the lens is stuck, you do not have to worry all that much about dust and sensor cleaning.
So let me do the calculation for you:
EFM 15-45mm kit : 200$
EFS 10-18mm : 150$
EFS 24mm : 80$
EFM 22mm : 150$
EFM 11-22mm : 350$
EFS 18-55mm : 80$
EF 17-40mmL : 600$
Total: 1610$. That is a lot money to be saved!
Add that with a hotshot, lens IS, internal ND filter and leave shutter and some digital IS and you have a killer option.

the only APS-C compact camera that is current (the Ricoh is 4 years old now) is the Fuji X100F that goes for what.. $1299.
and this has a 24-70mm 2.8-5.6 zoom and not a 35mm 2.8 (equiv) prime.
The fuji has 1080p as well. Don't see many people whining about that camera. Heck dpreview gave it a gold award
if canon does well on the lens front this will be a great little camera that is unmatched in the industry. People whine about canon not being innovative. This is an innovate camera. No one else makes something like this.

I think the problem is the EF-M 15-45mm lens. True it doesn't get the best reviews but how much smaller can this camera be than an M5 with the 15-45mm lens and how much better will the lens be? And will it be worth it to lose the versatility of switching lenses?
powershot2012 said:Indeed.
Another Canon Flop.
$799 by Christmas...
Once again Panasonic will nails it with the LX200 while Canon missed another opportunity.
Sporgon said:OK the pricing is steep, and early adopters will literally pay the price, but if this camera has a really stellar, relatively fast zoom lens that is more in the L zoom quality, ( if an a EFs L zoom existed) then this is a compact camera that really has huge scope without any quality compromises.
Bahrd said:Maybe $1299 is a price for a kit (i.e. together with a pouch, a hood and a case)?
gmon750 said:Well, thanks for nothing Canon. I was really looking forward to getting my hands on this camera to replace my trusty, old Powershot S100.
$1,299 is just too much for a Powershot camera. Had it been in the $8xx range, I would have immediately jumped on it. At $1,299... I'm going to continue looking around and maybe wait until Canon wakes up and sells them at fire-sale prices.
Ridiculous.
