Canon Teaser Appears in Korea

I completed my own analysis
http://eos-m.net/rumours/canon-white-world-teaser/

I think the design elements make it very evident it is an SL1/100D under there - or an SL2 in the same body.

I was just fiddling around with the teaser image after loading it into gimp and wanted to upload my image ... you have done the same thing but much better than me!
I came to the same conclusion: a EF-S 40mm helps to estimate the body width to about 120mm - that is consistent to the existing SL1/100D.

The only "hammer" would be a 36x24 mm sensor in a 100D housing* - but who nows? Canon is obviously denying the mirrorless market so it could be a great counterpart to some FF mirrorless cameras ... JUST DREAMING!

EDIT: * the use of the EF-S 40mm might be a hint ...

EDIT2: Thanks kphoto99 for the hint - I mingled the S of STM into the mount descriptor ...

It's probably a T4/1200D. There is a red version of the 1100D and as far as i know there isn't any other recent DSRL model that isn't black.

But i wonder what will the specs be? Probably the same as the 100D but with a small useless extra. ;D

I like Keith Cooper's take on all this:

So, a white version of a Rebel (xxxD) sized camera? An SL2 already? Some marketing wheeze connected with the winter olympics?
But who knows, let's see rumourland work this one up into a 47MP EOS 3D

Sweet! It's been verified that it's a 47MP 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Against all "hope": A DF-ish FF, 1Dx sensor, 5D3 AF, no video, native ISO 51200, extension H1 and H2. A stills only body for Christmas... 8) Just to keep up with the Joneses. US $ 2.8k (as Canon will ask a bit more)

Actually, I think the SL1 is the replacement for the T3/1100D. I just don't see the price point a 1200D would occupy with the SL1 going for $5-600

Congratulations to the people at Canon Marketing for bringing us that teaser photo! ;D

It is really astonishing how promptly at least some people post-processed that image for closer analysis.

Even if all this buzz is merely to introduce a different color entry level DSLR, at least Canon's marketing campaign is a hit.

Maybe the camera under the shape is NOT the new product but a camera the designer used to create this teaser.

I would think more about the wording? What could white world mean? Is this like an idiom for something in Korea?

as i wrote before.... winter olympics come to mind.
white is the prefered color in korea (nation of the white dress).

I think you will be SLIGHTLY disappointed ::)

Aside from the Winter Olympics and a design "enhancement", as suggested by others, the only other thing I can think of that is white and means a lot to Canon, is their lenses. I highly doubt it, but maybe this is a body given the White L treatment?

I think we need some salt.

Hi,
An EF mount Mirrorless Camera??

Have a nice day.
A mirrorless like SL1, compatible with EF lenses is not a bad idea. Just use the 70D sensor and will be a serious competitor for micro 4/3.

That's pointless because the focal plane won't move forward with EF lenses, resulting in a 'fat' body that has room for a mirror but no optical VF or fast AF. Hmmm....

actually.....
There is a lot to be said for not making it too small. If Canon made a higher-end mirrorless camera "normal sized" they could use an lp-e6 battery (1800Mah) as opposed to the 875Mah lp-12 battery that the EOS-M comes with... The extra size would allow for far better ergonomics than the EOS-M and would also allow for more heat dissipation...

My personal opinion is that the ideal Canon mirrorless camera would look like and have similar controls to the 7D..... but with a slightly bigger and better joystick.
