That I agree. It would be a very appealing camera to existing EOS lens owners due to the equivalent DOF and focal length with a EF/EF-s adaptor.
As for your question on compatibility, if its compatible with EF, EF-S should not be an issue. The EF-S focussing plane distance is still further than the flange distance for mirrorless systems since it requires a clearance for the mirrorbox in APS-C/EF-S cameras.
So, if its designed as as EF mount adapter and works with the focusing distance of the EF lenses, it will be able to clear EF-S too.

Finally a second camera I can just grab and slip into my coat pocket, then slip a hotshoe viewfinder into my other coat pocket. Then stash an external flash in my wife's purse, then sling a dslr bag around my neck and keep an EF adaptor and some of my EF lenses in that. On second thought, I'll just bring my 5d3.
Judging by the lack of buttons, this is surely for consumers, so no built-in flash seems like a mistake.

True up to a point. However, I lusted after a Panasonic GF1, but never remotely considered a GF2 or GF3 for precisely this reason.
@mb66energy
Would never be a standard extension tube in any case, for EF lenses apertures and focus to work you would need some comms between the body and camera. The ribbon can follow any path it wants between the two ends, so the rotation is hardly a big deal (so long as the adapter rotates the lens back by the same so that the
focus scale, switches and bayonet petaled lens hoods stay in the correct final position) an extension tube is generally designed to permit closer focusing, an adapter is generally designed to retain regular focus ranges of the adapted lens.
That said, it could be a great camera for adapting antique or obselete optics to!
@treyconnally
That may depend on the adapter! If that is, an adapter is required.

I'm guessing T4i sensor since they bothered with the on-chip phase detect AF. Having seen T4i's live view AF performance, though, I doubt it will be even in the ballpark of V1/NEX/GFx unless Canon has been seriously hiding things from EOS users these 5 years.

This is a joke, is it?
And to me it proves that what I really want is to a) free up some major cash one day to buy the M9 and a few lenses or b) waiting for somebody to finally come up with a M9-like rangefinder with full frame sensor for half the price
...or c) finally set up a darkroom in the basement and go medium format film
Certainly not interested in this one if it materializes like that. It looks like a 1980s point and shoot of the worst kind.

If that new lens is real, you'll be happy to have another macro lens option! I wonder if what the Maximum Magnification ratio is?

If it has a 1.6x sensor and has an available adapter that controls EF lenses I will absolutely buy one. The only thing I am worried about with the EF adapter is lenses like the newer 70-200 2.8 IS II will suck the poor battery dry in no time at all. there is just no room in that thing for a battery big enough. I am afraid that a EF to EF-m adapter will disable IS and/or AF (I hope I am wrong!).

Not holding my breath but it would be nice to have a nice light + compact camera to take with me and the family at the fair/ theme parks etc that can double as a back up body for my large collection of EF lenses. If I did not already have so much invested in Canon it may not interest me at all given the other excellent cameras already available in this segment.

Hmm, Canon's answer to the Oly OMD EM5?
Of course that's an image knocked up in Photoshop or Illustrator from the snapshots seen below it, well done too. Low res shots possibly real and taken with spy specs hence low res and poor quality.
Very tempting especially if they have kept to a Gxx type swivel screen. If they have then I'll have one despite the need to carry a small zoom in my bag as well. If they the swivel screen then it's possibly the death knell for the G series, if not then maybe we'll still see a G12 successor at Photokina??? Mind you if it's the same price as the Oly OMD then it's gonna work out expensive if one has to buy a zoom as well, whereas at least the Oly kit comes with a 17 - 100mm zoom for 1300€. Decisions, decisions!
Like has already been said it's going to be a long weekend.
