New Canon EOS-M

[Foniks]

Just to point out - the Canon EOS-M is not "made for women". This is a misunderstanding based on western media outlets mis-interpreting comments made in Japan by Canon. Canon believes the cameras will appeal to women in the JAPANESE market, but that does not mean it will be marketed this way to the rest of the world (and not because of features or styling, but simply Japanese women are considered to have more disposable income).

For example, the EOS Rebel cameras - they are called Kiss in Japan...

Hello everyone,

Just had a rather interesting day spent with a couple of the Canon reps.. Basically iv got to play with the new EOS-M.. Build quality is very good, it has a touch screen which is pretty much the same as a iPhone ( very good even tho I strongly dislike touch screens on cameras ).. The only downside to today was I wasn't able to try it with either the standard kit lens or with the EF adaptor.. Ill uploaded some pics.. If you have any questions just ask..

Update.. For some reason I cant upload the images to Canon Rumors so Ill add them to my flickr

Nice. This will be my mirrorless camera.

ETA: Looks like it's capable of some very nice results if you put a good lens on it...
