Thoughts From Canon on a Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera

[moreorless]

That is exactly the reason why I have suggested Canon should upsize the S100. Give it a 4/3 sensor, FAST AF, Keep f2.0 at wide side,make it faster at tele with a better lens at the same time.

For something the size of the S series I'd guess the lens would be prohibtively large with a sensor that size. They could I spose go with a prime or a shorter zoom but the G series seems better suited to upping the sensor size.

"G" is a betetr handling camera with a handgrip. You are right. Thta will allow the lens to stick out slightly from the body. Give it a shorter range zoom will help to keep it smaller also.

SWMBO has a G12 because she prefers the more chunky feel to the thin S100. She also stipulated that an optical viewfinder was essential

"large sensor" "mirrorless".
It will be interesting to see an APS-C (or smaller sensor) mirrorless to be use by landscape and studio photographer.

Large sensor means full frame or larger.
