After picking up my 70D, I was thinking it would be awesome to do some of the features now in the 5D MARK IV, primarily in post processing... Just wanted to bring it up again as a cool way to use the information captured by DPAF.

But before I digress any further, what is the likelihood of seeing a full frame EOS-M, a new set of STM lenses and a new, smaller, capable and evolution in Canon's mirrorless lineup?

I think this would be my ideal camera- full frame and all the functionality of DPAF - but in a mirorless package.

Thoughts or other rumors I am missing? Thanks!

A FF would not be a EOS M. Canon does not keep the same model number and change sensor sizes / lenses.

What we DO NOT need is yet another family of lenses that will have only 1 or less added each year until in 8 years there are 5 or 6 available. Yes, there could be a adapter for you to use for 15 years until a reasonable complement of lenses was available, but then, whats the point of having one?


Its a Quandry. Small sensor cameras are being displaced by cell phone cameras, many US buyers see small cameras as costing too much, why buy that small point and shoot looking FF model for $2,900 when I could get a big professional Canon Rebel for $700? They will go for the Rebel 19 times out of 20.
