"Naming convention..? What naming convention? We don't do that here." -Canon Corp.

Clearly there has never been a product plan for the EOS M line and this latest rumour of a nonsensical name just fits so believable it isn't even frustrating. (Screaming on the inside because I really want a nice full-frame, Leica SL-like mirrorless from Canon!)

Happy shooting y'alls!

This will be followed by the EOS M1000, the EOS M10000, the EOS M100000 etc..

 

[jolyonralph]

Actually, the name makes sense, to bring a consistency between this and the other line.

We'll probably see the M6 replacement eventually be the M20, with the M5 being replaced by a M5 mark II


Here's waiting for the full frame EOS M1 (they never did call the M the M1)

I agree JR, and please let it be true and that this is the 2nd step (after the M5) in a reasonably logical (in Canon's numerology) roadmap for the EOS Ms. :

turning this back away from naming convention sniveling (even though calling it 100,1000,etc follows rebel conventions as their lower specced camera).

I'm quite curious to see what they do with this M. finding the M5 a little big, and would love to get back to a compact soapbar sized camera - hoping that it will have the M6 guts in it, but expecting canon to "nerf" it to keep the costs down.

Part of me is leaning to DPAF in it, just the way canon talked up DPAF in their financial summaries and the moving of the entire camera line to using DPAF sensors.

find out in a few days I suppose!

Yeah RRC, the M5 being the 1st falling in a typical Canon EOS product line (i.e. EOS 1, [3], 5, 6, 7, X0, etc.) where the number roughly equates to Canon's positioning of the product. This is why some of us expect a true M1 ("pro"-level) at some point.

and did you forget the M6?

I really doubt you'll see a 1 series M .. lol. canon has alot of pride in that monikor and what it stands for.

 

[RGF]

This will be followed by the EOS M1000, the EOS M10000, the EOS M100000 etc..

or perhaps M101, M110, M1000, M1001, ..

 

[jolyonralph]

What is interesting is what the M stands for.

We all assume it stands for 'mirrorless'. But I don't think it does.

I think it stands for 'minature' or 'micro'

Eventually all Canon cameras will be mirrorless, and we'll have the standard range that take EF lenses, and the 'minature' range that take EF-M lenses.

So an M1 wouldn't necessarily imply it was part of the flagship '1' range. It would just signify it's the premium product in the M series.

 

[jolyonralph]

or perhaps M101, M110, M1000, M1001, ..

You missed out the M111

Hah! M6?!? I didn't even know this existed (Wow.) Thanks for that RGF. Well, let's hope the trend continues. ;D

Three colors will be available, black, white and an unknown color

So, after all that talk about a Malaysian made lens that comes in 3 different colors, reality finally settles down to a a MILC model in 3 different colors.

How disappointing...

Let's think about this a bit more.

The 15-45 lens and the 55-200 are currently available in silver and black only.

So if a white camera is being launched then it means we'll probably need to see white versions of the 15-45 and the 55-200.

Now, if the other unknown colour was red (for example) they'd need to be launching four new colour variants, not three.

What about a white 18-150? Where would the red one be? And I doubt this would be a kit option with the M100 anyway.

So. Could it be silver? Then they would only need two new lenses not three, so that doesn't work either.

Except... there is a silver version of the EF-M 22mm.

So maybe this is the lineup.

EOS M100 in Black, White and Silver

New lenses are EF-M 15-45, EF-M 55-200 and EF-M 22 all in white.


Can anyone come up with a more logical guess?

 

[neuroanatomist]

So if a white camera is being launched then it means we'll probably need to see white versions of the 15-45 and the 55-200.

The M, M2, M3 and M10 all launched in white (also, the M launched in red, silver, and subsequently blue, and the M2 also in blue). Why would we 'need' to see white versions of those lenses now?

Maybe we'll see an M22/2 IS in black and silver, along with the M11-22 in silver (leaving the M28 available in only black).

 

[eosuser1234]

And there will probably be a EF-M mount full frame in a smaller body, and EF-M full frame speciality lenses, and if you want to use EF lenses, you can and will be needing the adapter. It is a Japanese company. They like to make things small, and they will also love to sell us new lenses. Sony can pull it off with the E mount (18mm flange distance), so can Canon.

How disappointing is it that you couldn't look at the rumor and realize there was different SKUs for the mirrorless camera and the lenses.

Probably. Or some color sequence. Maybe they are rolling out pink.

The M had a cray amount of color. Black, white, bay blue, two tones of red, and I'm sure I am forgetting some.

This will be followed by the EOS M1000, the EOS M10000, the EOS M100000 etc..

I think this is called "inflation"
