saw it on facebook, could it be the real pic or photoshop?
 
the angles of the right side of the hot shoe and left side look a little funny to me, as do the angles of the top left and top right of the camera. i guess one side(our left) is sloping down more than the right. If it's a mock up on Photoshop it's pretty good. But i'm not convinced.
For not being retro or a classic rangefinder-esque look, i think it actually isn't that fugly.
But unless it is APS-C or FF, I won't even consider it. If it is FF I will probably pre order it(my dream.)

The hot shoe certainly looks photoshopped, but it could just be from a poor job of editing the image to remove background.
I like the looks of it myself, but then, I go back to the days of the Canon 7 rangefinders, and it is cleaner than they were.
I'm started to get interested.

i hope it has an electronic viewfinderdoesnt look like it from the pic

from that pic it looks like the sensor is 2x crop? more like a nikon1 sort of deal

an f2 43mm pancake would be pretty sweet if its as sharp as the f2.8 pancake is wide open
of course with a sensor of that size its doF is going to me more like f2.8 anyway so i wonder how similar those lenses are

if its that small it would be handy to have stashed in the bag with an EF adaptor which hopefully would give full control of the lens unlike the EF to otherbrand adaptors

The lens would be an "EF-M" (i.e. mirrorless mount, presumably incompatible with EF and EF-S) f/2 22mm focal length with a 43mm filter thread. STM for focus-by-wire like the EF 40mm f/2.8 pancake.

I am uninterested myself. What I want is a decrippled 700D with no aliasing and moire on the video and 60fps/1080p. Unless this thing sports better video than a hacked GH2, in which case, I am interested provided the EF adapter is under $150 and has full functionality.

Looks like being very similar to the Panasonic GF1 and GX1 in size and style.

A good thing. IMHO.

I like the knurled ring around the shutter button... looks like an input scroller!, could be a nice design touch.

Would hate to lose the EOS control dial though, perhaps it's on the back vertically (like the old EOS iX?)

EF / EF-s lenses? APS-C sensor? On chip phase detection AF?

Could be awesome.

Full frame would be too big in my opinion. Handling seems very along formula that has been successful for every other mirrorless manufacturer (PENS, GF's, 1's etc)

Can't wait until monday for some solid info!

No EVF, no built in flash. Looks very 1st generation mirrorless (e.g. GF1, EP-1) ; why can't Canon learn from others rather than having to reinvent the wheel?

This line of cameras will live or die based upon the range of EF-M lenses; the 22mm f/2 STM looks like a great start (assuming image quality is up-to-par), but it will need a lot more in the same vein and quickly in order to succeed.

Any guesses as to what the strange device on the front right of the camera is (above what is presumably the lens release button)? Just a IR remote receiver/self timer LED?
