There is a lot of points. I can easily name at least five. The first is: without having high-precision moving mechanical parts, it should be cheaper to manufacture.Brown said:CarlMillerPhoto said:God I hope Canon stands out from the pack and offers a mirrorless body with a native EF mount.
Then what's the point of it being mirrorless?

Jaysheldon said:Why not
--keep the EF mount for full frame mirrorless cameras
--keep the EF-M mount for those who want a lighter camera/lens package, including those light F6.3 and f5.6 lenses. (in other words, if you want a 70-200 f4 you have to go full frame. You want light, it means light lenses -- and Canon can market the hell out of lightness. You want big lenses, go with a bigger camera). This mount replaces the EF-S cameras/lenses. (In other words, better to piss off EF-S lens owners than EF lens owners)
The flaw in this, I admit, is it means Canon has to maintain a two-lens line.

No flaw, perfectly fine.
What makes you think so?fullstop said:Canon is already transitioning from EF-S to EF-M - for APS-.C sensors only, of course.

you bet!
If Canon really were to go with a stupid EF-nozzle on their FF mirrorless cameras, I'll have to switch to Nikon, which will truly save their a** and start the final CAN-AGGEDON! No, I am never alone in my purchasing decisions but usually find *millions of people* around the world buying exactly the same things. ;D

The last two crop lenses Canon introduced were EF-S, not EF-M.

Canon make more money.
This #1 priority.
