<strong>*UPDATE*</strong>

We’re told by a good source that this does indeed look the EOS M5, which we expect to be announced late next week.</p>
<p>The LCD only flips vertically, not to the side like the EOS 80D.</p>
<p>You can read what we know about the EOS M5 <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-m5-coming-before-photokina-cr3/">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Original Post:</strong>

These sketches (or Photoshop filtered images) of a Canon camera have appeared on <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=30681.msg621061;topicseen#new">our forum</a> and in our inbox. We have been unable to confirm their authenticity at the time of publishing, but we will update the post once we hear if these are legit or not.</p>
<p>We have been told that the EOS M5 would have ergonomic updates, such as a larger grip as well as an EVF.</p>

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Where would accurate hand drawn images come from? Do any Canon user manuals or other media feature them?

Ignoring the fact that these aren't photos, this design does look plausible.

Hope it won't be too bulky otherwise it will lose its size advantage.

+1

While just an artist's impression it does look very big.

I may be interested in the M5 but only if it is of similar size to something like the Sony RX100 Mark IV.

I want the truly portable camera to fit in my pocket, that does not look like it will fit in my pocket.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

From what I've seen elsewhere the small mirror less size only holds if one is satisfied with f 4 or smaller aperatures in the attached lenses. Once you get a 2.8 or larger lens the lens is as big or bigger than a dslr with the same lens.

An SL2 with the 80D sensor and wifi + gps would be sweet especially if they hit the SL 1 price point. It could use a bigger grip and therefore maybe battery ? A bit more fps and improved focus and it's a winner.

Looks a7ish with rounded edges.

More like an SL1, I think. Particularly in the grip. Which is what I was hoping for.

The knobs, shutter button, and strap lugs are Sony standard, not Canon

sony has standards? :p

At least for the strap lugs anyway. I hate them, that's why I noticed.

Pretty much all the manufacturers are using those same lugs on mirrorless bodies, Canon included.

EDIT: Actually I take that back, the ones Canon has been using most recently are a bit more rectangular.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?

Sorry to whoever sketched this but it looks pretty ugly- like a cross between a Sony cam, XC15, EOS-M, and an SL1. I thought this was supposed to be retro.

It'll have 4k video, right?

(That's a joke)

Hey! Congrats! Your post is the most ridiculous thus far! Never fear however, as the original post isn't very old and I don't expect yours to be the most absurd for long.
