[Canon Rumors]

<p>We’re told that Canon will announced a new EOS M camera in February, ahead of CP+ in Yokohama, Japan which starts on February 23, 2017.</p>
<p>The new EOS M camera will come in below the recently released EOS M5 and will likely retain a similar form factor to the EOS M10 and EOS M3.</p>
<p>We also received further confirmation that the two kit lenses that will be available for EOS M cameras will be the EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM, and the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM and that the EF-M 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM will be discontinued.</p>

Probably replacement for the M3, hopefully with DPAF. Right now I don't think there's enough of a gap between the M10 and M3 in performance to justify the (price) difference...

With the addition of another "new" M camera, lets hope there is "new" glass close behind. Still hoping for that 35mm (~50mm equivalent) f/2.0 or better M glass.

Just remember K.I.S.S. - Keep It SMALL S*****

You have to wonder if it will be an M5 without an EVF.

You have to wonder if it will be an M5 without an EVF.

If sized like the other M models, I would be interested. Particularly if they go back to the EOS UI, but that's unlikely for an M3 or M10 successor.

Please release same eosm with different colors, eos m10 is perfect enough for Canon users

Brief excitement at the thought that it would be above the M5.
Canon's role in the world is to teach infinite patience to it's user base.

LOL - with you on both points.
One thing Canon taught me is to do something now, as waiting can be a very long time.

My prediction, for what it's worth which is probably very little, is that it'll simply be a refresh of the M10 line, and you'll see an EOS M11 with the EOS M3 24mp sensor in it and, if you're very lucky, a flash hotshoe capable of taking the EVF, but I suspect that part is unlikely.

 

[crashpc]

Fingers crossed for M5 without EVF, but it´s likely to be another color of M10, or rehash with M3 sensor. Bibi bi bi bibibi...

 

[padam]

Will be good for vlogging, and, umm...

 

[rrcphoto]

hmmm. i'm intrigued to see what happens with this. m3 mark II would be great or something like the original M's.

 

[Bob Howland]

Are there any more rumors about an upscale 15-85 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens?

Exactly my expectation. M11, but called EOS M20. M3 sensor, without DPAF. No Viewfinder. Maybe connector for external EVF-DC1. Maybe with tilt LCD. Defintiely NO EOS firmware and UI.

HOPEFULLY it will at least be small SMALL (like M10). And maybe a reasonably low street price fairly soon after launch.

Returned from Cocoa Beach/WDW pre-Christmas fun; the M2/11-22/270II trio works (and I mean really works) for stills...and for video the flash is replaced with a Rode Videomic Pro. The fireworks shows are simply spectacular; no tripod...no set-up. It just works.

The size of the body matters to me; I anxiously await this new release as I have yet to purchase the M3 or the M5 (but am now considering the refurb M3 offered by Canon).

There is a very real place for Canon's M offerings...

I'd like to see the smaller form factor left behind and have all future iterations follow the M5 body.

 

[Tangent]

I like the m5 without EVF idea. Still with the 3.5mm shutter release. And pretty much everything else the M5 has.

Just cheaper because of no evf, and a bit smaller.

 

[Rocky]

Size of M3, UI of M2 (or M50) with the 80D sensor. That will be ideal.

 

[Zv]

I'm still rockin' the M2 with a beat up M1 as back up (which still works). I like the size of the M2 for hiking. Would be interesting to see what this updated M is all about. It's probably going to be an M20. I don't like the M10's lack of grip though and it looks and feels plasticky so hopefully some improvements there. Only thing I miss in the M2 is a tilt screen but tbh I just pair up to smartphone for those awkward angles.
