Canon's FF Mirrorless Camera Will Have Same Internals as EOS 6D Mark II

i understand FDD and throat width as a combination.
If a very short FDD is chosen, then better make the opening oversize in diameter.
Or use a somewhat longer FDD and get by with a narrower opening.

18mm FDD plus 46mm throat width for FF sensor is definitely a "borderline compromise" that puts severe limitations on lens design ... as witnessed in very long, large, complex, heavy and expensive Sony FE lenses.
This is so evident, one does not have to be an optics expert.

However, i still believe Canon will do the right thing and not use EF nor EF-M mount for their future camera and lens program.

I agree with you, new mount gives people chance to invest again on lens.
It would be pleasant to have new lens collection in dry box.

Just to be clear, are you saying that the new FF mirrorless will be/has to be/should be be a new mount or do you believe this new mount will appear at some point in the future as part of their product development?

Both. :-)

While EF and EF-M would be "technically feasible" but very compromised/limited for FF, I believe Canon will use a new, no-compromise FF-optimized mount for their upcoming FF mirrorless system.

When? Don't know, but hopefully soon. For me and for Canon.

I foresee Canon to transition from DSLR-era with EF + EF-S mounts to EF-? and EF-M mounts for mirrorless era. EF-M will be limited to smaller, consumer-oriented lenses, while EF-? will be a full-fledged lineup [eventually]. Transition will take a few years [maybe 5?], during which both DSLRs and MILCs and all 4 mounts and lens lineups will exist in parallel ... 2 being phased-out [EF-S first], 2 being phased in [EF-M already well underway].

You will not remember this forum topic....

It never happened.....

go outside and take some pictures, have lunch with a friend..... go about your lives....

That cracks me up.
I clicked on the thread since it appears in the "Show new replies.." link.
I was thinking I should delete my posts in the thread so I wouldn't be tempted to look.

I think the posts about imaginary lens mounts has reached maximum saturation.

So it has gone from 'Canon has to do this now or face ruin' to 'I hope it is soon'. That is fair enough.
